Abstract

Various systems, processes, and products may be used to manage the transmission and reception of messages. In particular implementations, a system, process, and product for managing message transmission and reception may include the ability to receive a plurality of messages to be transmitted over a communication network, wherein some of the messages have a higher priority and some of the messages have a lower priority, and enqueue descriptors for the messages in a direct memory access queue. The system, process, and product may also include the ability to determine whether an overrun of the queue has occurred, analyze the queue if an overrun has occurred to determine if lower priority messages are associated with any of the descriptors in the queue, and replace, if descriptors for lower priority messages are in the queue, the descriptors for the lower priority messages with descriptors for higher priority messages.
