I have seen the IPv4 hash function:
(ip ^ (ip >> 23) ^ (ip >> 17)) & ~(bucketsize - 1)
for power-of-2 sized hash tables attributed to Van Jacobson, in many
places, but I have never found any paper or writing that is the actual
source of this. Does anyone know where I might find such? Personal
curiosity only.
