This is more useful on a LAN/WAN than on the internet. Unless you have control of the routers QoS settings there's little point using -tos.
On the other hand, it's not like it adds anything in the way of extra CPU/net traffic so there's no harm done. You could perhaps use it as a placebo on your players if they complain of lag/bulletloss? -EvilGrin -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of James Sykes Sent: Friday, September 26, 2003 3:37 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [hlds_linux] -tos and it's benefits There is no discernable benefit to using the -tos parameter.
