Summary:                    [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.

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.
