Configuring Type of Service (TOS)

Enabling TOS

Assigning a TOS Value

Using TOS, you can set the type of service for the IP data packets going out
through an interface over a network.
Assign a value to set the TOS and the precedence bits of the IP header for
outgoing packets. To set only TOS bits, use a value between 0 and 15. To set
TOS and precedence bits, use a value between 0 and 127.
The valid range of values for TOS is from 0 to 127. Default value is 0, which
indicates normal TOS. The four TOS bits are minimize delay (0x10),
maximize throughput (0x08), maximize reliability (0x04), and minimize
monetary cost (0x02).
This value is set only if TOS is enabled for this interface, otherwise, the TOS
value set using SET options will be used. To see how to use SET options, see
"Configuration Using SET Options" on page
NOTE:
The TOS value for outgoing IP datagrams can be set by an application
using the WINSOCK API SetSockOpt. The value set by an API takes the highest
preference followed by the value set using the method shown in
Value" on page 77, and then the value set using SET options.
