ENUM OVS_PKT_HASH_TYPES(9)

💅 enum ovs_pkt_hash_types(9) 💅

okay so this is the Kernel API Manual page for enum ovs_pkt_hash_types, and it's lowkey a tiny icon. we're talking hash info, bestie. let's get into it ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

enum ovs_pkt_hash_types — the hash info to include with a packet to send to userspace. that's the whole vibe. no cap. 🫶

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

       enum ovs_pkt_hash_types {
           OVS_PACKET_HASH_SW_BIT ,
           OVS_PACKET_HASH_L4_BIT

       };

💅 Constants 💅

• OVS_PACKET_HASH_SW_BIT — indicates the hash was computed in the software stack. literally that's what it means, bestie 🧚
• OVS_PACKET_HASH_L4_BIT — indicates the hash is a canonical 4-tuple hash over transport ports. it's giving transport-layer realness 🔥

it's just these two constants, and they are both doing their lil job. periodt. 💅
