Abstract
Particular embodiments described herein provide for a system, an apparatus, and a method for hash creation using arbitrary header field combinations. One example implementation can include operations associated with generating a first hash key from user-defined fields for a first packet, generating a second hash key from user-defined fields for a second packet. The first packet can be directed along a first direction in a network and the second packet can be directed along a second direction that is different from the first direction in the network. The first hash key and the second hash key can result in a same hash for the first and second packets, and the same hash is used to select an outgoing port channel member interface to be used in sending at least a portion of the first and the second packets in the network.
