Re: Hash function for ip 4-tuple

[Kiryukhin Andrey <andrei_1980 () mail ru>]

I'm not professional in that. When i need quick solution, I tried the 
following method.

( IP1*(2^16) + port1)  xor  ( IP2*(2^16) + port2 )

It is a simple method, and does not guarantee that no conflicts.

This worked for my needs.
