[zeromq-dev] QoS support

[Erich Heine]

Alex,

For more linux examples look into the "Linux Advanced Routing & Traffic
Control Howto" at lartc.org. This gets into how to do the iptables stuff,
and the tc stuff I mention elsewhere in this thread.  Warning, the tc stuff
in Linux is a bit of a dark art -- it took me a couple years to reallly get
a good understanding of it, of course I was implementing a crazy in-line
network appliance at the time.

Regards,
Erich
