firehol-tosfix - apply suggested TOS values to packets
The tosfix helper command sets the Type of Service (TOS) field in
packet headers based on the suggestions given by Erik Hensema in iptables
and tc shaping tricks
(http://www.docum.org/docum.org/faq/cache/49.html).
The following TOS values are set:
- •
- All TCP ACK packets with length less than 128 bytes are assigned
Minimize-Delay, while bigger ones are assigned Maximize-Throughput
- •
- All packets with TOS Minimize-Delay, that are bigger than 512 bytes are
set to Maximize-Throughput, except for short bursts of 2 packets per
second
The tosfix command must be used before the first router or
interface.
