Zusammenfassung:	Methods and apparatuses for packet processing. A method performed by a network function includes receiving message processing information relating to one or more publish-subscribe applications executed by one or more subscriber wireless devices. The method further includes causing a packet dropping task to be initiated to handle packets for each application, wherein each packet dropping task processes packets directed towards a given application from among applications, and wherein the processing performed by each packet dropping task comprises retaining packets directed towards the given application in a task-side message buffer until a task-side message buffer capacity is reached and discarding packets directed towards the given application when the task-side message buffer capacity has been reached. The method also includes initiating transmission of the packets in the task-side message buffer towards applications.
