Jan Engelhardt36f2ead2008-01-20 13:25:08 +00001This module sets the Type of Service field in the IPv4 header (including the
Laurence J. Lanecfb048f2009-08-20 17:14:25 +02002"precedence" bits) or the Priority field in the IPv6 header. Note that TOS
Jan Engelhardt36f2ead2008-01-20 13:25:08 +00003shares the same bits as DSCP and ECN. The TOS target is only valid in the
4\fBmangle\fR table.

Jan Engelhardt36f2ead2008-01-20 13:25:08 +00007Zeroes out the bits given by \fImask\fR and XORs \fIvalue\fR into the
8TOS/Priority field. If \fImask\fR is omitted, 0xFF is assumed.

Jan Engelhardt36f2ead2008-01-20 13:25:08 +000011You can specify a symbolic name when using the TOS target for IPv4. It implies
12a mask of 0xFF. The list of recognized TOS names can be obtained by calling
