.Sh DESCRIPTION
The Toeplitz hash algorithm is commonly used by network interface
controllers to generate a short hash based on the value of fields
in network packet headers.
.\" mention RSS?
The resulting hash value can be used as a flow identifier, which
in turn can be used to consistently select a context for processing
packets using those fields.
Traditionally, the Toeplitz hash produces different results depending
on the order of inputs, i.e. adding port 80 then 1234 as inputs would
produce a different result to hashing port 1234 then 80.
.Pp
The symmetric Toeplitz API uses a key selected to generate the same
hash result regardless of the order the inputs were added.
The API also supports producing Toeplitz hash keys for use by
network interface controllers that provide the same symmetric
property.
.Pp
The
.Fn stoeplitz_to_key
function generates a Toeplitz key for use by a network interface
controller based on the system's symmetric Toeplitz key.
A Toeplitz key of
.Fa keylen
bytes will be written to the buffer referenced by the
.Fa key
argument.
.Fa keylen
must be a multiple of 2 bytes.
.Pp
.Fn stoeplitz_hash_ip4
calculates a hash value for a pair of IPv4 addresses.
.Pp
.Fn stoeplitz_hash_ip4port
calculates a hash value for a pair of IPv4 addresses and ports as
used by protocols like TCP or UDP.
.Pp
.Fn stoeplitz_hash_ip6
calculates a hash value for a pair of IPv6 addresses.
.Pp
.Fn stoeplitz_hash_ip6port
calculates a hash value for a pair of IPv6 addresses and ports as
used by protocols like TCP or UDP.
.Sh CONTEXT
.Fn stoeplitz_to_key ,
.Fn stoeplitz_hash_ip4 ,
.Fn stoeplitz_hash_ip4port ,
.Fn stoeplitz_hash_ip6 ,
and
.Fn stoeplitz_hash_ip6port
can be called during autoconf, from process context, or from an
interrupt context.
.Sh RETURN VALUES
.Fn stoeplitz_hash_ip4 ,
.Fn stoeplitz_hash_ip4port ,
.Fn stoeplitz_hash_ip6 ,
and
.Fn stoeplitz_hash_ip6port
return a 16-bit hash value in host byte order.

.Sh HISTORY
The symmetric Toeplitz API is based on the ideas and implementation in
.Dx

and
.An Simon Schubert Aq Mt corecode@fs.ei.tum.de .
.Pp
The API appeared in
.Ox 6.8 .
