Forum Topic - SO_PRIORITY and VLAN.: (4 Items)
   
SO_PRIORITY and VLAN.  
It does not look like Ethernet VLAN and setting QoS tags on packets  (individually) is supported - Typically this is 
done via socket priority (SO_PRIORITY) via the socket API, which is much more clean (for developers) than diving into 
RAW socket to build packets.

Any change of getting this supported in the new staclk?

Other comments/suggestions?

Hi Kjell:

	This isn't available in the upcoming release, but we can look at
adding it into a future release.

	Robert.

This seems to be a linux'ism.  Are you aware of any
other prior art?

Re: SO_PRIORITY and VLAN.  
Seems to me that this is specifially addressing needs raised by specs:

http://standards.ieee.org/getieee802/download/802.1Q-2005.pdf

The next is in draft so is not downloadable on getiee802 site.

 IEEE 802.1p: LAN Layer 2 QoS/CoS Protocol for Traffic Prioritization

The target networking environment seems to be heterogenous
traffic (triple play for instance) on LANs and MANs (bridbed LANs
as in 802.1D?).
