It's essentially above. I think you can actually do it in pure bpf
without skbedit, I'd written a tc bpf flow classifier for acks quite
some time ago. The not current version is attached. I really need to
finish up some ack related stuff.
Using a bpf map to this then setting the flowid directly?

There are 1024(?) queues available and 800 members, so I’m just speculating that I could map members to a number from 0 to 800 (active member IDs packed and zero-based would work) and assign each member to their own flow. Thanks... :)
