Summary

0000465: [PATCH] Options to nc for setting DiffServ DSCP and VLAN user-priority

Description

Trivial patch that adds two new options for nc:
-q DSCP set IP DSCP
-Q PRIO set VLAN user-priority

The above will set the socket options IP_TOS and SO_PRIORITY accordingly.
This allows nc to mark packets in a QoS DiffServ aware network.

The patch has been accepted by the GNU netcat project and will be included
in the 0.8 release.

(0000614) oskar 10-08-05 06:39 edited on: 02-15-06 05:53	For compatibility with other netcat implementations I suggest the options are changed to -D for DSCP and -P for VLAN user-priority. For instance, in nc v1.10 -q is occupied. Uploaded modified patch with options updated: nc_busybox_new_options.patch

(0004994) vda 02-18-08 02:34	This is creeping featuritis. For this to be accepted, it should be editing nc_bloaty.c, not nc.c; and should have these options optional on CONFIG_something.
