Hi Cristian, I have configured the hash function and it compile fine with "warnings". Since librte_hash vs librte_table is 32bit vs 64bit.
librte_hash library : /** Type of function that can be used for calculating the hash value. */ typedef uint32_t (*rte_hash_function)(const void *key, uint32_t key_len, uint32_t init_val); librte_table library: typedef uint64_t (*rte_table_hash_op_hash) (void *key, uint32_t key_size, uint64_t seed); I could use one of these hash functions. This is one option, but our first priority is to use crc hash or cukoo hash. https://github.com/scylladb/dpdk/blob/master/examples/ip_pipeline/pipeline/hash_func.h We do not want to have those warning in our code. What do you suggest ?

Are you using a DPDK release older than 2.1? In DPDK we moved away from test_hash to CRC-based hashes. Please take a look at DPDK release 2.1 examples/ip_pipeline application: in pipeline_flow_classification_be.c, we use CRC-based hash functions defined in file hash_func.h from the same folder.
