[dpdk-dev] cuckoo hash in dpdk

[Pragash Vijayaragavan]

Hi ,

The performance will depend on the time taken for calculating the hash1 and
hash2 values for each lookup.

Can i know which hash functions are used to calculate the hash values for
each incoming key. We use CRC32 which uses xxhash i guess.
I could not find the implementation of the hash functions.


Thanks,
