This is special expression that transforms an input expression into a
32-bit unsigned integer. This expression takes a modulus parameter to
scale the result and the random seed so the hash result becomes harder
to predict.
You can use it to set the packet mark, eg.
# nft add rule x y meta mark set jhash ip saddr . ip daddr mod 2 seed 0xdeadbeef
You can combine this with maps too, eg.
# nft add rule x y dnat to jhash ip saddr mod 2 seed 0xdeadbeef map { \
0 : 192.168.20.100, \
1 : 192.168.30.100 \
}
Currently, this expression implements the jenkins hash implementation
available in the Linux kernel:
