If we have multiple colliding entries, I think a more reasonable behavior would be allowing the newer flow to override the older one. >> The issues I found probably wouldn't cause connection hangs in pure L3 >> software flow offload, since it will use the bridge device for xmit instead >> of its members.

If the hardware still handles traffic, but redirects it to the wrong destination port, the connection will hang. - Felix
