Hi all,

Any of you Parix-users would care to point out a FAST way
to keep a round-robin order in Select(ing) from various
virtual links?

I'll explain:
Supose a processor (or thread) is selecting from
10 virtual links. The first message arrives in link 5.
While the processor is doing something with the message 
(at this time, it is NOT selecting) two
other messages are send first in v.link 10 and then in v.link 1.
The next time the processor will Select, it will select v.link 1.

How can I avoid that, in a FAST way?

e-mail me at <ddimitr@hpcl.cti.gr>

or the anon address, and I'll send a summary if there is any interest.
