Abstract
A system for deriving hash values for packets in a packet processing system is described. In this system, hash derivation logic is configured to derive a hash value for the packet responsive to a key that drives processing of the packet. The hash value is useful for supporting additional processing of the packet, such as link aggregation and equal cost multi-path.
