Subject: [net-next-2.6 PATCH] igb: drop support for UDP hashing w/ RSS
Date: Thu, 01 Jul 2010 23:01:05 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20100702060056.16863.23072.stgit@localhost.localdomain> (raw)
From: Alexander Duyck <alexander.h.duyck@intel.com>
This change removes UDP from the supported protocols for RSS hashing. The
reason for removing this protocol is because IP fragmentation was causing a
network flow to be broken into two streams, one for fragmented, and one for
non-fragmented and this in turn was causing out-of-order issues.
