My understanding is that priority messages bypass flow control, and a M_PCPROTO message can carry many M_DATA blocks following the initial M_PCPROTO block. If this is correct, how can STREAMS defend against a bad user process which continuously sends large M_PCPROTO messages downstream? I believe the upstream case is handled by the stream head discarding them. Thanks!
