firehol-tosfix - apply suggested TOS values to packets
.SH SYNOPSIS
.PP
tosfix
.SH DESCRIPTION
.PP
The \f[V]tosfix\f[R] 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).
.PP
The following TOS values are set:
.IP \[bu] 2
All TCP ACK packets with length less than 128 bytes are assigned
Minimize-Delay, while bigger ones are assigned Maximize-Throughput
.IP \[bu] 2
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
.PP
The \f[V]tosfix\f[R] command must be used before the first router or
interface.
