Hi,

I noticed that the Type of Service bit for minimize delay is set in
client->server packets only. Is this OS-specific or is there another
reason for this?

Here is a tcpdump of an interactive connection:

217.225.98.212.22 > 134.169.34.19.45870: P 1:49(48) ack 48 win 12008 (DF)

217.225.98.212.22 > 134.169.34.19.45870: P 193:241(48) ack 240 win 12008 (DF)
134.169.34.19.45870 > 217.225.98.212.22: P 240:288(48) ack 241 win 25416 (DF) [tos 0x10] 

I'm using the ToS field for priority queuing, so this is a problem for me.
