Since all of the classification we're suggesting is via the kernel, the
administrator has the same kinds of controls and it is also without any
application modifications.
We're saying, to classify packets so that they get prioritized however you
would have prioritized things in the accept queue (ie. mark SYN packets
with address X as having priority Y). The let the packet scheduler or
netfilter take care of the rest.
