Abstract
Hash collision in a highly scaled configuration cannot be prevented. However, the impact of the hash collision may be reduced based on a priority. Currently, there are no priorities assigned to virtual ports (VP) in a VXLAN environment. Thus, any VP may be impacted by not being added to a hash table that facilitates network data traffic processing. The probability of not being added to a hash table for network VPs is higher given that they tend to be programmed at a later stage than access VP. With priority-based hash table programming embodiments, hash table programming is better controlled, and the impact to higher priority VPs is reduced.
