It would also be nice to have some clever overload handling mechanism to
monitor queue lengths and then maybe have some types of messages discarded
and others pushed to the front.. (if that makes any sense in a system which
does selective receive?)

We just got this sort of thing in AXE10 for c7 TCAP signalling. There are
different priority queues and it will discard messages from lower priority
queues according to some clever alogorithm which achieves maximum throughput
under extreme provocation without filling up the various buffers and falling
over.
