Hi All, I am using iptables mangle table to set the TOS bit of several kinds of traffic in order to give for instance ssh priority above bulk or normal traffic. For using ssh sessions from my linux box to a machine on the internet I use: iptables -t mangle -A PREROUTING -i ppp0 -p tcp --sport ssh -j TOS --set-tos Minimize-Delay iptables -t mangle -A OUTPUT -o ppp0 -p tcp --dport ssh -j TOS --set-tos Minimize-Delay Now my question is if the opposite rules do make sense also? iptables -t mangle -A PREROUTING -i ppp0 -p tcp --dport ssh -j TOS --set-tos Minimize-Delay iptables -t mangle -A OUTPUT -o ppp0 -p tcp --sport ssh -j TOS --set-tos Minimize-Delay My intention is to give priority to incoming (from internet to my linux box) ssh sessions also.
