NAME

       firehol-tosfix - apply suggested TOS values to packets

SYNOPSIS

       tosfix

DESCRIPTION

       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.
