From: dean gaudet <dean@arctic.org> Date: Tue, 26 Nov 2002 21:49:35 -0800 (PST) which causes the IPTOS_MINCOST bit (2) to be ignored even if setsockopt is used to specify it. why is this? is it a bug? You probably want to read the DIFFSERV rfcs. :-) Short answer is that these two bits are now considered unused in the modern internet. From rfc3260: "the Differented Services Field ... is the six most significant bits of the former IPV4 TOS octet ... The two least significant bits of the IPV4 TOS octet ... are not used by Diffserv" - : send the line "unsubscribe linux-net" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
