Thanks, I have applied your patch just before releasing 1.2.6. However, as you might have noticed, there is now an upcoming DSCP and ECN target. This means, people will now be able to set the DSCP bits without intefering with ECN. I think we should remove the ftos.patch with the next iptables release, because people will have the following options: 1) use the TOS target for setting all valid TOS values without interfering with ECN 2) use the DSCP target for setting all valid DSCP codepoint values without interfering with ECN The FTOS target is potentially harmful to ECN and makes it easy to violate both old and new usage of the TOS field. Please feel free to tell me if I've missed something. > Matthew G.
