Re: "Priority and QoS model"

How would web browser get the TOS bits on the received UDP packets? I know
how to do this for Linux by setting IP_RECVTOS and using recvmsg. I do not
think it is possible on any other OS, except by running raw socket or
packet capture on the interface.

Am I missing something? What is the point of the statistics that cannot be
computed?
