Eeh... - According to every place I could find in -09, priority is 31-bit field. - Bigger numbers are lower priority, so lowest priority is the maximum number. - One can stick 2^31-1 (which is bit above 2,000,000,000) into 31-bit field. Section 5.3 even says this is the lowest priority. - 2^30 is bit above 1,000,000,000 (and most definitely under 2,000,000,000). -Ilari
