--- Begin Message ---Package: ntp Version: 1:4.2.4p4+dfsg-7 Severity: normal Tags: patch Running tcpdump -v shows that ntpd is not setting the IP type of service to optimize for low delay. The code to do this is there in the sources, so the intention is definitely that the bit should be set. However, it is not activated because: * it depends on IPTOS_LOWDELAY being defined, * IPTOS_LOWDELAY is defined in netinet/ip.h, but * netinet/ip.h is not included. The patch below adds the inclusion of netinet/ip.h. As a result, TOS bits are now set in my locally compiled version: 14:23:51.869725 IP (tos 0x10, ttl 64, id 0, offset 0, flags [DF], proto UDP (17), length 76) sense.xs4all.nl.ntp > monitorul.suceava.rdsnet.ro.55672: NTPv4, length 48 Server, Leap indicator: clock unsynchronized (192), Stratum 0, poll 6s, precision -20 [...] the tos 0x10 is the bit I meant. This was tos 0x0 before the patch. --- ntpd/ntp_io.c.orig 2008-07-26 14:25:28.000000000 +0200 +++ ntpd/ntp_io.c 2008-07-26 14:13:32.000000000 +0200 @@ -41,6 +41,9 @@ #ifdef HAVE_SYS_UIO_H # include <sys/uio.h> #endif +#ifdef HAVE_NETINET_IP_H +# include <netinet/ip.h> +#endif /* * setsockopt does not always have the same arg declaration Ciao.
