I'm afraid maybe no HW of current generation will get SMP support. I'm sure marketing is pondering lot how many customers would switch vendor versus how many customers would just buy new next-gen hardware when deciding which platforms to target for SMP. I honestly believe that SMP is weekend project for single developer on JunOS now that they've remedied the underlaying FreeBSD issues. Fixing rpd mess is certainly big deal. But just affinity to put RPD on its own core and rest on the other core on MX80/MX104 should be terribly trivial. Even radar plans for RPD + threads is far cry from what other vendors are doing already with SMP on XR, EOS and particularly TimOS. But still very nice that JNPR is finally doing something. -- ++ytti _______________________________________________ juniper-nsp mailing list juniper-nsp@puck.nether.net https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/juniper-nsp
