Re: [hlds_linux] -tos and it's benefits

[Ryan Schulze]

even if  it isn't used on the server side of the connection, you don't
know if the players could be usinf QOS rules. they definatly would not
mind the tos filed being used ;)

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?

There is no discernable benefit to using the -tos parameter.
I believe most routers on the internet will NOT treat these packets any
differently.

and this qos header in the packet is discarded after it leaves the
router /
internal network?
Any idea on what kinda load this would put on router equipment vs. no
qos
headers in the packet?

It sets the qos header in the packets so routers if configured with


qos
will

treat them has high priority packets. Packets having a higher prio


will be


routed first hence lower pings. In practice doesnt have much effect


for


one reason and another.

OK I have searched and searched and can't find a definite answer.


What


exactly does -tos in the startup line do? How does it work? And what


are


it's benefits?

Thanks
