[Bridge] About support of 802.1p standard into 2.6 linux Bridge code

Hello,
i would like to know if the 802.1p (QoS for Ethernet frames) standard is
implemented into last 2.6 kernel Bridging code?
Cheers,
Louis.

It's implemented in the VLAN code, at least as far as being able to map 
a socket priority to a vlan priority.  There
is no special queue handling based on the priority bits at this time, at 
least in vlan code.

Ok, thx.
Is there any netfilter patch or code available to be able to filter frames
on base of such QoS parameter?

There is probably a way to filter based off on the skb->priority, but I 
have never tried.
