Methods, systems, and storage mediums for allowing some applications to read messages while others cannot due to resource constraints in a system

摘要

When running network applications, resources are made available in a system having resource constraints. While messages are being received, a method adjusts the priorities of incoming messages, avoiding driving the system out of resources. In some environments, it is desirable for some important applications to continue to process data from the network. Often, the system is waiting for a response or acknowledgement from a remote application. This can result in a deadlock or shutdown condition. A method provides the ability to classify inbound messages as high priority messages and process the high priority messages at all times. A server is updated to poll the network, even when it is in shutdown mode.
