------------------------------------------

I am having trouble setting the value on the socket. Since we create the socket from SocketChannel, I am not able to set the TOS. 
http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/nio/channels/SocketChannel.html
Here is a sample code I tried running on OSX and Linux in Java 1.7. The IP x.y.z pointed to a test cassandra instance running 2.0.2

        Socket socket = SocketChannel.open(new InetSocketAddress("x.y.z", 7000)).socket();
        socket.setTrafficClass(8);
        System.out.println(socket.getTrafficClass());// WIll print 0
        SocketChannel channel = SocketChannel.open(new InetSocketAddress("x.y.z", 7000));
        channel.setOption(StandardSocketOptions.IP_TOS, 8);
        System.out.println(channel.getOption(StandardSocketOptions.IP_TOS));// WIll print 0
        System.out.println(channel.socket().getTrafficClass());// WIll print 0
        channel.socket().setTrafficClass(8);
        System.out.println(channel.socket().getTrafficClass()); // WIll print 0
        //This will work and prints 8
        Socket socket1 = new Socket("x.y.z", 7000);
        socket1.setTrafficClass(8);
        System.out.println(socket1.getTrafficClass()); // WIll print 8

> It would be nice to have some information in the TCP packet which network teams can inspect to distinguish between streaming traffic and other organic cassandra traffic. This is very useful for monitoring WAN traffic. 
> Here are some solutions:
> 1) Use a different port for streaming. 
> 2) Add some IP header.
