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... :)

your typical cable modem segment is x.y.z.u/22 - in other words they
only manage 1024 subscribers per segment also.

So... the birthday problem only rears its head in the real world, when
you have small values, like 4. above 32 it increasingly doesn't
matter. We did a lot of successful ns2 tests of fq_codel with 16,32
flows settings  (in the hope it would ease a hardware design). So,
instead of trying to use up one veth with 800 subscribers, use 800/per
cpu you have. Perhaps.
