The hash threshold can be configured like this:

ip x p set hthresh4 0 0

This sets the hash threshold to local /0 and remote /0 netmasks.
With this configuration, all policies should go to the hashtable.
This might help to balance the hash chains better.

Default hash thresholds are local /32 and remote /32 netmasks, so
all prefixed policies go to the inexact list.

To view the configuration:

ip -s -s x p count
