See section 1.5.5 of the TIPC 1.7 Programmer's Guide
(http://tipc.sourceforge.net/doc/tipc_1.7_prog_guide.html).

There is currently no API in place to allow an application to determine
this information.  It appears that Motorola is interested in submitting
an enhancement that will fill this gap.

TIPC does not do any sort of retransmission when a socket's receive
queue becomes full -- it either discards or returns undeliverable
messages, as described in sections 1.5.5 and 1.5.6 of the Programmer's
Guide.
