I thought about this for some time...
Do we really need the port numbers here at all? A simple
addr1^addr2 can provide a good enough pointer for
distribution amongst CPUs.
The real connection tracking is better done locally at the
corresponding CPU. That way a potential cache miss can be
avoided and the still needed hash calculation for
connection tracking will be offloaded.
