Specifically, I would like to use Sockets Programming to achieve this. One of the way is to make use of the precedence field in the IP header's Type of Service. However, I can't find a way to do that in Sockets Programming. I will be grateful if anyone can suggests a way to set the precedence field using Sockets Programming or any other method to achieve priority routing of IP packets in BSD environment. I would be delighted if someone can suggest a method to translate the application layer priority to some kind of network priority. Thanking you in advance.
