Hi,

Is it possible to create 802.1p priority values in FreeBSD?

I saw this comment in if_vlan.c:

/*
 * if_vlan.c - pseudo-device driver for IEEE 802.1Q virtual LANs.
 * Might be extended some day to also handle IEEE 802.1p priority
 * tagging.


Is there another way to do this besides using the vlan driver?

I am interested in trying to map IP TOS/Diffserv values 
to 802.1p priorities.  Some of the switch vendors claim to be
able to do this.

Is there a similar way to do this in FreeBSD?

Thanks.
