My understanding from a cursory read of the source is that Varnish is using crc32 as a hash function.
A few web sites I looked at suggested crc32 has very poor avalanche behavior, and is thus not a good choice for a hash function. Also, I wonder if a 32-bit key length is large enough, since it is becoming feasible to have many terabytes of storage in a single server. Has anyone checked that crc32 is suitable for this purpose? _______________________________________________ varnish-dev mailing list varnish-dev@projects.linpro.no http://projects.linpro.no/mailman/listinfo/varnish-dev
