FYI,

In this update, we added a section on validating our recommendation with non-power-of-two hash results.

> Abstract:
>   Equal Cost Multi-Path (ECMP) forwarding is an essential function in
>   distributing traffic across parallel paths.  Packets within a flow
>   must be kept on a single path to avoid reordering, while different
>   flows must be distributed across paths to achieve parallelism.
> 
>   Previously, MPLS has addressed this through the use of an entropy
>   label, providing up to 20 bits of entropy that can be added to the
>   label stack to distinguish different flows.  [RFC6790] With the
>   interest in MPLS Network Actions, there are proposals to embedding
>   entropy into alternate structures, so it is an appropriate time to
>   consider how many bits should be used for entropy in the future.

> 
>   In this document, we examine the question of how to provide adequate
>   entropy through a simple stochastic simulation.  This is not intended
>   to be a comprehensive and extensive treatise, but rather a simple
>   investigation to build intuition into the issues.
