[dpdk-dev] Doubt regarding DPDK hash Library implementation

[Syam Prasad N Pearson]

Dear Sir/Madam,
I am a developer trying to get familiar with the DPDK hash library. I tried
to make and use a hash table successfully.
During the development I came across a variable

/** Number of items per bucket. */
*#define RTE_HASH_BUCKET_ENTRIES 8*

defined inside:
dpdk-20.11.3/dpdk-stable-20.11.3/lib/librte_hash /rte_cuckoo_hash.h

Why does the library take this value as *8*, is there any particular reason
for this? what if it is 16,32... etc.

I am using DPDK 20.11.3 LTS.

Please help.
