I've noticed that the IP_TOS socket option doesn't work on raw sockets. There is no error returned and the TOS is stored in the protocol control block but when the packet headers are constructed, a hardcoded zero is put (instead of inp->inp_ip_tos). Is there any specific reason for this or is this a bug ? (I don't want to use IP_HDRINCL). Here an extract from netinet/raw_ip.c: int rip_output(m, so, dst) ... ip->ip_tos = 0; ip->ip_off = 0; ip->ip_p = inp->inp_ip_p; ip->ip_len = m->m_pkthdr.len; ip->ip_src = inp->inp_laddr; ip->ip_dst.s_addr = dst; ip->ip_ttl = MAXTTL; Clearly, the same holds for the ttl. BTW, the linux implementation does allow to set the tos on raw sockets. Thanks for any comments, -- Wim Livens. Alcatel - Corporate Research Center wim.livens@alcatel.be Fr.
