Correct. Set it to zero and the flowtable will be bypassed.

flowtable.c:
static uint32_t
ipv6_flow_lookup_hash_internal(
	struct sockaddr_in6 *ssin6, struct sockaddr_in6 *dsin6,
	    uint32_t *key, uint16_t flags)
{
	uint16_t sport, dport;
	uint8_t proto;
	int offset =3D 0;

	if ((V_flowtable_enable =3D=3D 0) || (V_flowtable_ready =3D=3D 0))
		return (0);
