No. Rabbit brokers messages, which means that it itself is not an
active client of anything. You can only use AMQP clients to publish or
subscribe to queues and exchanges that are located in Rabbit. In this
scenario you would have to have an external client listen on the
socket and then publish the data to Rabbit.

This depends on what you need to filter. If the filter can be
expressed using routing rules, then maybe you've got a simple
solution.
