I believe there is a field that has been used for this purpose in 
OpenBSD, but is otherwise deprecated. anyone woth ore knowledge of
teh protocls is invited to let us know what was used.

Alternatively I was considering filtering packets to a routing

but I don't know much about the routing socket protcol.
