LOC: Ip::Qos::TheConfig
DOC_START
Allows you to select a TOS/DSCP value to mark outgoing
- connections with, based on where the reply was sourced. For
- platforms using netfilter, allows you to set a netfilter mark
+ connections to the client, based on where the reply was sourced.
+ For platforms using netfilter, allows you to set a netfilter mark
value instead of, or in addition to, a TOS value.
+ By default this functionality is disabled. To enable it with the default
+ settings simply use "qos_flows mark" or "qos_flows tos". Default
+ settings will result in the netfilter mark or TOS value being copied
+ from the upstream connection to the client. Note that it is the connection
+ CONNMARK value not the packet MARK value that is copied.
+
+ It is not currently possible to copy the mark or TOS value from the
+ client to the upstream connection request.
+
TOS values really only have local significance - so you should
know what you're specifying. For more information, see RFC2474,
RFC2475, and RFC3260.
