Hi, Where is the Callback function? ( You use it when you call "create_queue" ), w-hen you call handle_packet() it executes the callback you supply in "create_queue".. And messages are removed from the queue only after you issue a verdict for them. until you do they will eat up you're queue space :) in order to fix the problem, create a callback ( "cb" is the name you issued in the create_queue function ) and issue a verdict for the messages you receive in that callback.
