The following reply was made to PR kern/177362; it has been noted by GNATS. From: Michael Tuexen <tuexen@freebsd.org> To: bug-followup@FreeBSD.org, marka@isc.org Cc: Subject: Re: kern/177362: [netinet] [patch] Wrong control used to return TOS Date: Wed, 27 Mar 2013 10:45:48 +0100 It was not done by accident. The returned cmsg_type is IP_RECVTOS = instead of IP_TOS to keep it consistent with the handling of the IP_RECVTTL socket = option. I found it more important to be consistent within the same protocol = family than across different ones. I think that unfortunately IP_RECVTOS is not defined in any standard. Best regards Michael=
