Hash-Key - MPLS: IPv4 and IPv6 Payload : L3 and L4 Fields

This feature introduces load balancing of MPLS packets by using fields from IPv4/IPv6 payload for hash calculations. We can include the following fields in the hash calculations:

• IPv4/IPv6: Source and destination IP address
• IPv6: Next header
• TCP/UDP: Source and destination port number

When an Entropy Label (EL) is detected, the IPv4/IPv6 payload fields are not processed, and the Entropy Label Indicator (ELI) is not included in the hash computation.
