It wasn't an omission or at least not an accidental one. Not that many NICs recognize SCTP for the purposes of hashing on the L4 ports, which is the reason why packets would land on different CPUs. This is just a heuristic so it's not always right but that was the rationale. _______________________________________________ dev mailing list dev@openvswitch.org http://openvswitch.org/mailman/listinfo/dev
