  If these are available. SFQ knows about ipv4 and ipv6 and also UDP, TCP and ESP.
  Packets with other protocols are hashed based on the 32bits representation of their
-destination and the socket they belong to. A flow corresponds mostly to a TCP/IP
-connection.
+destination and source. A flow corresponds mostly to a TCP/IP connection.
Don't understand this. Did you want to replace "connection" by 
"destination and source"? Do you mean that a "connection" is 
characterised by source and destination?
Packets of other protocol (so not UDP, not TCP...) are hashed based on
their source IP _and_ destination IP

Old documentation wrongly stated the hash was done only based on
destination IP.

Also we no longer uses 'local socket' since SFQ uses standard rxhash or
flow dissector.
