So, It seams that the tos field of the iP header has no influence in prioritizing of my outgoing traffic !! Why? Did I miss something?

This will not work very well in internet, because most of all routers ignore TOS settings.

This is only useful in your own LAN or WAN were you have control over your routers
and configure them to respect the TOS settings.

For outgoing traffic shaping you should use the common tc functions of linux.
