That too. All these reasons is why TOS is not a reliable characteristic
to determine the question of bulk-or-interactive.

ssh -o IPQoS={bulk|interactive|0x12345} ...

ssh -L 2000:localhost:22 foohost &
rsync -HPave 'ssh -p 2000' bulky.iso localhost:

and in fact, wouldn't the output `ls -Rl /` in an interactive shell also
best be count as bulk...

Interesting.  Looks like that was introduced in 5.6.  Squeeze is running
5.5 but it should default to 0x10/0x08 if not set.  I'm not seeing any
TOS bits set which is why I suspect it is the libssh call as I assume
that does not reference the openssh configuration.

If someone can point out where the socket options are set, I can take a
look and see if I can figure out how to fix it but I don't know a thing
about socket programming.  I assume one has to make some kind of a call
to IP_TOS or perhaps it is part of setsockopts and SO_PRIORITY.  Thanks

The sockets are probably created and configured in here...
