The problem of priority inversion is well-known and.. actually, scratch that: it’s clearly not well known at all because people keep making the same mistake.

Worth reading while not a problem in VSCP for most cases. But VSCP uses it’s priority bits and if building real time systems this should also be thought of for VCSP.
