What goals are you trying to accomplish? Message packets are small and don’t really have large streams of data to which you want to prioritize one over another.
Most QOS of applications would normally be done on the network level. i.e. have the network apply QOS rules and prioritize different applications like email, http, xmpp/jabber, ssl connections or protocols above bit torrent or youtube flash etc.
If you want to mark packets for routing or something like that, the Content Filter plugin or the new Raptor traffic control plugin I just saw might help.
Well. I dont quite understand how filtering plugins can do routing. They won’t put a packet into a queue, just filter out or let it through. Maybe i miss something about the Raptor. It has more features and filter profiles, but routing…?

You could drop the packet and create a new one which does replace it. Also you could modify packets. For example this is done by the dropper plugin. However, I think prioritization is not possible.

No currently routing is not possible. However, creating of packets is planed, at least for messages.
