No, just raw packets. VLAN tags could be added trivially (in the
program), but that naturally avoids the kernel's VLAN code.

Cool, yeah, I hadn't thought of that, but it would work...
Thanks,

The
This series is an early RFC that introduces a new socket option
allowing time based transmission of packets. This option will be
useful in implementing various real time protocols over Ethernet,
including but not limited to P802.1Qbv, which is currently finding
its way into 802.1Q.
