Hi all, I have a minor question regarding the IP_TOS and SO_PRIORITY socket options. I was reading the man page for ip(7) and it pointed me to socket(7) to look at the SO_PRIORITY. My man page claims that setting the SO_PRIORITY will also set the tos on the outgoing IP header. The problem is that I couldn't see the TOS set in my outgoing packets and I was not able to find the code propagating the sk_priority into the tos. On the other hand I could find that setting the IP_TOS will also set the sk_priority. Is this a documentation bug? Or did it work once? Or is it working and my code was just broken and I'm too blind to find it? z.
