I'd be surprised if this is possible. Packets are just 
packets and go where the routing table tells them to go. The 
application has no idea where the packets are going - 
whether they're sent over a serial line, wifi or wired 
ethernet. So there's complete separation between 
applications and the routing table.

However you can differentiate packets by ip, port...
