Abstract
Processing messages in dataflow networks. The method includes, at a first entity, receiving from a second entity a first offer of a first message to process. The method further includes determining to not process the first message. As a result of determining to not process the first message, such an indication is made to the second entity. Further as a result of determining to not process the first message, an indication is stored that the second entity offered a message.
