This will not work very well in internet, because most of all routers 
ignore TOS settings.

This is only useful in your own LAN or WAN were you have control over 
your routers
and configure them to respect the TOS settings.

For outgoing traffic shaping you should use the common tc functions of 
linux.

Cheers,
