Hi,
In IPv4, OpenSSH sets the Type of Service (ToS) / DSCP field appropriately,
e.g. "low delay" for interactive connections. In IPv6, however, the Traffic
Class field is apparently left set to zero for all packets. Is there a
reason for this?
My understanding is that it would be valid to set the IPv6 Traffic Class
identically to the IPv4 ToS field. In a bug report to Debian
(http://bugs.debian.org/498297), Lionel Elie Mamane posted a patch to do
just this. If this is acceptable, I'd love to see this incorporated into
OpenSSH.
Thanks.
(Please CC me on replies.)
