This occurs when a client is consistently consuming
less events per sec than the server is generating per sec.
There is enough buffering in the system so that
the client can briefly fall behind. However, if this condition is
sustained then the server will eventually discard events
for the client involved (other clients are not effected).
Possible causes (a particular type of client involved):
o client is synchronizing a slow activity with every event
Some OPI client side tools avoid these problems by implementing
a cache with an associated modified data tag for each
PV that is monitored. CA event call back functions
update this cache instead of performing the slow activity
directly (ie drawing on the screen etc).
Possible causes (a particular host involved):
o client isnt given enough CPU
Possible causes (a particular network involved):
o events cant be communicated over the network as fast as the server
is generating them. A network path to the client might not exist
or it might be saturated.
Possible causes (most clients involved):
o scan rates for the records involved are too high (frequent)
o deadbands need to be set for the records involved
