It doesn't matter much anyway, we all know that with mutexes, 
semaphores, critical sections, and queues, priority inversion is the 
norm rather than the exception.

If the system can't process RX fast enough, whichever task have 
precedence, incoming packets will be lost, either if DMA rx ring is full 
or if tcpip message box is full, then it won't work properly.
