Zusammenfassung:	Selecting a receive side scaling (RSS) key is provided. It is determined whether a defined time interval expired. In response to determining that the defined time interval has expired, it is determined whether one or more keys in a set of randomly generated candidate RSS keys have a higher packet distribution score than an active RSS key. In response to determining that one or more keys in the set of randomly generated candidate RSS keys have a higher packet distribution score than the active RSS key, an RSS key having a highest packet distribution score is selected from the one or more keys in the set of randomly generated candidate RSS keys that have a higher packet distribution score than the active RSS key. The RSS key having the highest packet distribution score is used to distribute incoming network packets across a plurality of processors.
