Re: What are you doing if the TX buffer overflows?

[Steffen Rose <ro@emtas.de>]

Hallo,

more a question to this discussion then a meaning:

Example:
 I use more than one program, e.g.3 to communicate over one interface, 
e.g.can0.

Question:
The TX Queue is interface related, not program related, right?

This would mean, if my program (one of the 3) clear the TX queue as part of an 
internal communication reset it would also destroy the messages of the other 
programs.

Is this idea right?
