If I build openssh from source and try it, the ToS bit is set
appropriately:
2012-10-16 17:32:16.173736 IP (tos 0x10, ttl 64, id 38386, offset 0, flags
[DF], proto TCP (6), length 52)
1.1.1.1.36327 > 2.2.2.2.22: Flags [.], cksum 0x2dcd (incorrect ->
0x8a18), seq 3101, ack 3736, win 183, options [nop,nop,TS val 1670729064 ecr
2311548502], length 0
Furthermore, the manpage included with Ubuntu for ssh states:
The default is “lowdelay” for interactive sessions and “throughput” for
non-interactive sessions.
** Description changed:
- The openssh-client bundled with Ubuntu 12.04 fails to set the IP Type of
Service field to "minimize delay (0x04)" for interactive SSH sessions. Just
about any other flavor of Linux/UNIX does this without any trouble. Even if I
attempt to force the setting in /etc/ssh/sshd_config:
- IPQoS lowdelay

The outgoing SSH packets do not have the bit set.
