Abstract
An operating system allows assignment of an input message priority to a particular socket. This priority is used by the operating system to determine what socket's inbound packets get discarded when the server resources are constrained. Sockets of a lower priority than another will have its inbound packets discarded before higher priority sockets. This allows an application to give selected sockets higher inbound message priority over other sockets.
