Major performance hit with ToS setting

2012-05-24 Thread Kevin Oberman
When we set the ToS bits for less than best effort (also called scavenger) on packets (ToS=32), performance on FreeBSD 8.2 is terrible. It was as good as best effort on FreeBSD 7.3 (assuming no congestion). I will look into what 9 does, but does anyone have an idea of why 8.2 behaves so badly when
