[vlc-devel] Re: [PATCH] Set TOS field - UDP streaming

Most likely. We've had other people requesting this feature.

I'm not too fond of adding a new parameter because it will break both source
and binary compatibility. Maybe adding an extra int net_SetDSCP( int fd, int
dscp ); function would do. You can find the address family by calling
getsockname on the file descriptor. I'm just not sure if it is still possible
to set the DSCP after connect() as been called - should be ok for UDP, but
might suck with TCP (and SCTP and DCCP, if we ever implement them).
