[undertow-dev] Unable to concurrently use all available IO Threads under load on Red Hat

[Stuart Douglas]

The mapping is done by a hash of the remote IP+port. It sounds like maybe
this machine is allocating ports in a way that does not map well to our
hash.

Because the remote IP is the same it is really only the port that comes
into effect. The algorithm is
in org.xnio.nio.QueuedNioTcpServer#handleReady and in this case would
simplify down to:

(((C1 * 23) + P) * 23 + C2) % 8

Where C1 is a hash of the remote IP, and C2 is a hash of the local IP+port
combo.
