[rabbitmq-discuss] NC1/CS6 marking of RabbitMQ packets

Fri Apr 25 18:28:56 BST 2014

Thanks Jeff.

Is there any RabbitMQ configuration that accepts socket-options? The description of 'tcp_listen_options' says it accepts options for sockets. Can this be utilized?

Thanks
Kapil

If your hosts are using Linux you can set the DSCP markings using
iptables without modifying the source:

https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v1/url?u=http://www.linuxtopia.org/Linux_Firewall_iptables/x4172.html&k=oIvRg1%2BdGAgOoM1BIlLLqw%3D%3D%0A&r=JF6BIRiITniYYZhbhzlgNvj%2FeB0%2BYbRBSr0f8NG91qs%3D%0A&m=kJYPJn%2BN%2Bv9KWf%2FRg9Pj5TxTAchQLarnZnAnCjDHjAY%3D%0A&s=0c259dd5fd00de315800a05f44dbbb94cc94a73c75f5e0e3e93a512fc8c19f3e

Otherwise it would involve modifying the code of the server and all of
the client libraries to set the IP_TOS option on all of the sockets
that are created.
