[erlang-questions] how to break the problem. the erlang way?

[Dave Pawson]

I'll await the answer to this one!
The design (problem breakdown) is quit new to me.

But still have the same breakdown? That's where I hesitated.
Surely there's something different here?
Perhaps 'get a packet' process, since it's easy to have lots of them?
Extract messages sounds clean, dealing with finished messages.
Less sure on the remainder.

Anyone?
