Hi Stephen,

Thank you for the reply you left to Alex's patch. This is actually quite 
helpful.

I've had a look at your patch series and the hexdump is actually quite 
great for our purpose at DTS, as it will allow us to detect a preset 
packet identifier in the payload.

Unfortunately, your patch doesn't solve the problem that Alex is having. 
He's currently writing up a test suite to test the RSS hash keys and the 
respective queues to which the incoming packets are placed into. To 
correctly match the packets to the queue and hash key, he needs a way to 
identify them. We explored some solutions and the L4 port seemed to be 
the most problem-free with the least effort. Using the payload is 
probably best and you've already posted the required changes too. The 
only problem is that your hexdump output does not print the required RSS 
values.

Would you be be keen to add these to your patch? Otherwise, do you have 
any ideas and/or solutions to tackle this specific problem?

Thank you,
Luca Vizzarro
