[zeromq-dev] Setting 802.1p VLAN Priority

[Arnaud Loonstra]

I guess you didn't get a reply just yet. I don't go very deep into the 
core of libzmq. It seems you already had look yourself. I'm not aware of 
a socket option you are looking for but we welcome a patch that 
implements it?

Perhaps some of the other maintainers can shred a light on whether this 
is already possible in libzmq or why not.

Rg,

Arnaud
