Thanks for the v2!

nit: please note that these are hex numbers,

What gives me pause here is the number of flow sub-types we define
for GTP hashing.
My understanding of GTP is limited to what I just read on Wikipedia.
IIUC the GTPC vs GTPU distinction comes down to the UDP port on
which the protocol runs? Are the frames also different?
I'm guessing UL/DL are uplink/downlink but what's EH?
How do GTPU_V4_FLOW, GTPU_EH_V4_FLOW, GTPU_UL_V4_FLOW, and
GTPU_DL_V4_FLOW differ?
Key question is - are there reasonable use cases that you can think of
for enabling GTP hashing for each one of those bits individually or can
we combine some of them?
