Curious question about FreeBSD's TCP/IP and SMP locking

Sat Jul 31 12:43:39 PDT 2004

Hi

After browsing the *BSD cvsweb site, I have found that
FreeBSD-current's TCPIP code has added locking/mutex
in it.

I am not programmer but I want to know what is the use
of adding so much locks/mutex in the stack? Also,
would it make a newbie/beginner feel difficult to
understand the code (I mean the TCP/IP part)?

Thanks
