What I have been using for testing these kinds of use cases (like iperf)
is to use an iptables rule to set the priority for some kinds of traffic.

Something like this:

sudo iptables -t mangle -A POSTROUTING -p udp --dport 7788 -j CLASSIFY --set-class 0:3

This will set the skb->priority of UDP packets matching that rule to 3.

Another alternative is to create a net_prio cgroup, and the sockets
created under that hierarchy would have have that priority. I don't have
an example handy for this right now, sorry.

Is this what you were looking for?

Cheers,
