No indeed we do not have this in the other way around. I suggest you try to experiment a bit with getsockopt(IP_TOS) to see what is reported. Indeed, I don't know what the kernel will report, if it is the last known TOS for a connection, the first one seen on the SYN packet or anything else. If you figure we can get any useful information then I think it makes sense to slightly modify the set-tos action so that in addition to taking a numeric value it also accepts an expression. In this case we could have fc_tos() and bc_tos() to get the TOS field from either the front or the back connection, and use it in set-tos to adjust the TOS in responses to the client. Given that it's not something critical I'm fine with getting this merged at the last minute before the 2.1 release if needed. Willy
