Hi!

Actually I don't understand that claim: If packets are delivered in order
(mostly), any TOTEM packet has the same change to arrive than any other packet.
While all other communication protocols can actually deal with Ethernet and the
Internet, TOTEM is the only protocol that can fail even in a switched LAN. I
haven't benn convinced yet that it's not an implementation issue of TOTEM.
Instead of telling people to fiddle with their network configuration, I'd
prefer putting more efforts into fixing TOTEM.

The main problem with priorities is who decides what is most important,
especially if a medium is shered by many different software stacks and
applications.
