Hi all,

1.  A port id has notation of <Z.C.N:ref>
     How many such ports can be created ? any limitation ?

2.  When Client process A sends a message <sendto(message, foo, 1, 5)> to 
     Server Process B <bind(foo, 0, 99)>,  Does Process B creates 5 copies 

     of the message and send to 5 instances 1 ,2 ,3 , 4, 5 of service type "foo" ?
     or
     Does Process "B "  put it  in shared memory and all instances 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 of service type "foo"
      access that message from shared memory ?

3.  How deadlock is avoided for blocking calls in TIPC ?
      Suppose client process A initiates a blocking call to server process B. And
       if B again initiates blocking to A then won't it create a deadlock in TIPC ?
       how such scenario is handled in TIPC ?
