Hello Alex!
Bundle::getPriority() and MetaBundle::getPriority() does exactly the same thing. Both read the corresponding priority encoded in the processing flags. This is defined in the bundle protocol specification (RFC 5050).
The effect is, that bundles with higher priority are delivered preferential to bundles with a lower priority. This is implemented as ordered list in the bundle storages. A storage sort all the bundles according to the priority and iterate them in this order.
That means, a routing module will process the bundles with higher priority first.
Kind regards, Johannes Morgenroth
