Summary: Support for QoS tagging needed

Initial Comment:
As an increasing amount of real-time, streaming video and audio shares the
Internet, it becomes essential to be able to differentiate time-sensitive
traffic from all others.

This is most easily achieved by having applications mark their traffic with the
appropriate DSCP tag in the IP tos field.

To achieve this:

* A configuration option is needed to allow specifying a QoS value (cs0...cs7,
af11..af43, ef, or "none" (same as "cs0")).

* A setsockopt(..., SOL_IP, IP_TOS, ...) will then need to be done on the
socket before it does a listen().

* Potentially a reasonable default value (like AF11 or AF12) could be set when
the configuration doesn't explicitly set a value.
