Re: Hash function for ip 4-tuple

[Bhagya Bantwal <bbantwal () sourcefire com>]

Alex,

You could use the stream api functions: get_application_data and
set_application_data in stream_api.c to set and get any application data
per flow.

There are also hash functions in src/sfutil/sfxhash.h which you could use
to implement your flow tracking.

Hope that helps.
