@All.

What does this mean for your receivers, and what should you do about it? You want to make sure you are using flow control in your transmitter.

If that's not possible, or if your device cannot be configured to use flow control, then you may want to consider limiting the buffer size on your receiver.

Correct me, If I'm wrong.
