The first three patches convert multipath selection to use the hash-threshold method (RFC 2992) instead of modulo-N. The same method is employed by the IPv4 routing code since commit 0e884c78ee19 ("ipv4: L3 hash-based multipath"). Unlike modulo-N, with hash-threshold only the flows near the region boundaries are affected when a nexthop is added or removed. In addition, it allows us to easily add support for non-equal-cost multipath in the last patch by sizing the different regions according to the provided weights. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.
