Each transmitted packet has niceness level, as Unix has @command{nice}
higher priority packets, like mail messages, will pass first, even when
lower priority packet was already been partially downloaded.
-There are default niceness levels built-in for @ref{nncp-exec},
-@ref{nncp-file} and @ref{nncp-freq} commands. But pay attention that it
-can give information about underlying payload to the adversary!

There are 1-255 niceness levels. They could be specified either as
integer, or using aliases with delta modifiers:
@table @emph
+@vindex FLASH
@item FLASH (F)
Urgent priority.
+@vindex PRIORITY
@item PRIORITY (P)
High priority. Command execution/mail use that priority by default.
+@vindex NORMAL
@item NORMAL (N)
Normal priority. File requests use that priority by default.
+@vindex BULK
@item BULK (B)
Bundles shipped on a "least effort" basis. File transmission use that
priority by default.
