  1. The Livelock paper has a hack to handle the problem of dropping packets on the "screend" queue. What limit does this solution have for multiple applications getting network data?
  2. In Livelock: Figure 6–3: Why does "Polling (no quota)" drop almost immediately to zero rather than gradually decreasing similar to "unmodified?" Be very concrete.
