Subject: packet deadline and process scheduling

Hi,

In the control loop application I am trying to build, an incoming message from
the network will have a deadline before which it should be delivered to the
receiver process. This essentially calls for a way of scheduling this process
based on the deadline information contained in the message. 

If not already available, I wish to  write code for such run-time ordering of
processes in the earlist deadline first fashion. The assumption, however
futuristic it may be, is that deadline information is contained as part of the
packet header something like an inband-OAM. 

Your feedback on the above will be very helpful. 

Hope the above objective will be of general interest to netdev as well.

My apologies if this is not the appropriate mailing list for posting this kind
of mails.  

Anand
