• Packet Header parameters for the first portion of the RTAG7 hash can be controlled. By default, all the listed parameters from the
Packet header are considered for hash computation. Few parameters [on demand] can be removed using the given CLIs.

• The second portion comes from static physical configuration such as ingress and egress port numbers.
• RTAG7 hashing also provides options to select between multiple hash algorithms that would result in balanced traffic distribution for
various traffic patterns.

Flow-based Hashing for ECMP
Flow-based hashing is one of RTAG7 hashing techniques to cater to ECMP routing in multi-tier networks. It addresses traffic polarization
issues by ensuring proper flow distribution between ECMP members in the higher layers of a multi-tier network. It facilitates a dynamic
hash function selection across different nodes in the network on a macro flow basis, by reducing route starvation and the unfair distribution
of bandwidth between members.
Polarization
Multipath routing is a method that is often used to address data forwarding issues during network failures so that the network traffic
reaches its desired destination. Multipath routing in IP networks is typically implemented using Equal-Cost Multipath (ECMP) routing,
which employs load balancing algorithms to distribute the traffic over multiple paths towards its destination. In a multi-tier network where
load balancing is performed at each tier, static hash algorithms polarize the traffic where load balancing is ineffective in the higher tiers. The
polarization effect is exaggerated if all the nodes in the network have to choose from the same set of ECMP paths. Traffic polarization
results in packet reordering and route flapping. The following figure explains the traffic polarization effect. Router B performs the same hash
as router A and all the traffic goes through the same path to router D, while no traffic is redirected to router E. The following figure explains
the traffic polarization effect:
