[zeromq-dev] QoS support

[Martin Sustrik]

Hi Alex,

0MQ is closely integrated with underlying networking stack. The idea is
that each message feed is associated with a particular networking port
(and/or multicast address) so that even networking layer is aware of
which packet is associated with which business feed and thus
administration of business feed can be done by existing networking
tools. To manipulate TOS bits existing OS-specific networking tools on
endpoint or router should be used, say this way:

"stock quote feed from NYSE" -> IP addr 224.0.0.1 port:5555 -> TOS:
minimum delay
