Hello, We are using nginx-1.6 in a production environment for caching data from multiple remote origins.
To improve our data distribution over the network we thought that using IP DiffServ/ToS to traffic shape by backend would be useful. We developed a small patch for the nginx core to mark packets. Because the nginx workers don't seem to have CAP_NET_ADMIN privileges we are using the TOS field instead of socket marks. This patch only marks client packets and not upstream/backend packets. Besides that, we added an X-Accel-ClassID header so that the upstream/backend itself can choose the class id to use. Do you find this an interesting feature to add to the nginx core? How can we proceed and submit a patch?
