In real networks TOS is either read as PREC or DSCP. So in real networks it's
either PREC 0 or DSCP 0x4. Neither seem desirable.

SCP/SFTP should be different than interactive, according to docs.
So Interactive definitely is /DSCP/ 0x4 or PREC 0.
You can easily check this in tshar:
[ytti@xxxxxxx ~]% sudo tshark -Vc 3 port 22|grep DSCP
Differentiated Services Field: 0x00 (DSCP 0x00: Default; ECN: 0x00: Not-ECT (Not ECN-Capable Transport))
Differentiated Services Field: 0x10 (DSCP 0x04: Unknown DSCP; ECN: 0x00: Not-ECT (Not ECN-Capable Transport))
Differentiated Services Field: 0x00 (DSCP 0x00: Default; ECN: 0x00: Not-ECT (Not ECN-Capable Transport))

No. This type of marking is not used.

As PREC is 3 bits, which is only thing you have in 802.1p and MPLS TC, it's
very commonly used.
Both PREC and DSCP are common, nothing else is in practical terms ever used.
And PREC+DSCP have same meaning for the left most 5 bits.

In UK you can talk to BT. If you'll setup NNI there and ask in RFQ for their
QoS, I'm sure you'll find what I said applies.
