Hi, folks We need to use Linux ECMP to do active-active load balancer, but consistent hash is necessary because load balance node may be added or removed dynamically, so number of hash bucket is changeable, but we have to distribute flow to load balance node which is handling this flow and has current session state, I’m not sure if current Linux has implemented the algorithm in https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2992, anybody can confirm yes or no?
I checked source code in https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/netdev/net-next.git/tree/net/ipv4/fib_semantics.c#n2176, every next hop in fib has a upper_bound, fib_select_multipath just checks if hash value is greater than upper_bound of next hop and decide if it is selected next hop, so I don't think current linux has implemented consistent hash, please correct me if I'm wrong. Thank you all so much in advance and sincerely appreciate your help.
