In packets with ESP header, the inner IP will be encrypted, and its fields cannot be used for RSS hashing. So, ESP packets can be hashed only by the outer IP layer. So, when using RSS on ESP packets, hashing may not be efficient, because the fields used by the hash functions are only the outer IPs, causing all traffic belonging to all tunnels between a given pair of GWs to land on one core. Adding the SPI hash field can extend the spreading of IPsec packets. Signed-off-by: Raja Zidane <rzidane@nvidia.com> Acked-by: Matan Azrad <matan@nvidia.com>
