Nothing. It's a question of whether or not use of ALTQ_NOPCC causes breakage on non-SMP kernels, or if FreeBSD even bothers to support non-SMP at this point. "Non-SMP" means "without options SMP". Rephrased: if SMP is the default, and "options SMP" works just fine on systems without multiple processors/cores, then the ALTQ_NOPCC option should probably be removed. -- | Jeremy Chadwick [email protected] | | Parodius Networking http://www.parodius.com/ | | UNIX Systems Administrator Mountain View, CA, US | | Making life hard for others since 1977.
