Patchset:
Why not have a global variable incrementing with each new conn instead of taking it from fd? That wo […]
I am not sure a global variable would lead to better distribution, given that that would be one range split over all AS. So if you have an even number of ASs with an even number of ASPs and a fairly determinstic bring-up after restart / link-failure, you might end up having all of the ASPs within one AS in the same bucket.
If you really wanted to do better, you'd need a per-AS variable, not a global one. And this would break both ABI + API (due to all related structs being public) and I thought it's not worth going there *just* for that.
Chances are high that this patch improves the situation significantly. If it's still creating problems to users, we can always improve later.
