Hi Alexey,

see below.

The point is, if you explicitly indicate that you have a lower priority, you are okay to be starved. However, if you don’t indicate anything (maybe just because you have not been aware that it is possible to do so), you might have the same or even a higher priority, and in this case it’s not okay to be starved.

Mirja
<JPG> If a message comes in without a priority, into a system which serves messages based on priority (regardless of the specific mechanisms)you have two options
1- Discard the message (Not a good idea in most systems)
2 - Assign the message an ARBITRARY priority (we call this arbitrary value the "default priority")

You can (and probably will) argue 'til the cows come home on what that arbitrary/default value SHOULD BE.  And different sytems/applications might have different "default values".

But I don't think there should be any argument that, if a message comes in without a priority, you need to assign it a priority.
