Control Bandwidth by TOS marking

Control Bandwidth by TOS marking

[André Marques]

Hello to all!

I'm trying to implement bandwidth control using TC and
IPTables, but i'm still having some difficults about
using the TOS field to implement it.

Does anybody knows how can i use the TOS field to makr
the packets in a way that i when they come and go by
the net they still remain marked?

Any help is appreciated. Thank you very much!

If it helps, here is an example used to expedite traffic to a local IP
PBX here:

*mangle
-A OUTPUT -d 192.168.223.5 -p 17 --dport 1024: -j TOS --set-tos
Minimize-Delay
-A INPUT -s 192.168.223.5 -p 17 --sport 1024: -j TOS --set-tos
Minimize-Delay
COMMIT
