.IP echoping\ -u\ \-P\ 0xa0\ foobar.example.com

Sends several UDP Echo packets with an IP Precedence of 5.
|
|
|
|
|
.SH IP TYPE OF SERVICE OCTET
|
|
|
|
|
The IP packet header contains 8 bits named the \"type of service octet\".
|
|
|
|
|
The value of the octet is set with the
|
|
|
|
|
.B \-P
|
|
|
|
|
option. The effects of the octet are defined differently in RFC791
|
|
|
|
|
.I "Internet Protocol"
|
|
|
|
|
and RFC2474
|
|
|
|
|
.IR "Definition of the Differentiated Services Field (DS Field) in the IPv4 and IPv6 Headers".
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
RFC791 defines
|
|
|
|
|
.I Precedence
|
|
|
|
|
which has ascending priorities 0 through to 7, and the bits
|
|
|
|
|
.IR Delay ,
|
|
|
|
|
.IR Throughput ,
|
|
|
|
|
.IR Reliability ,
|
|
|
|
|
and
|
|
|
|
|
.I Cost
|
|
|
|
|
which indicates the application's preference for the properties of
|
|
|
|
|
the packet's path through the network.
|
|
|
|
|
.I Precedence
|
|
|
|
|
is in the most significant three bits of the type of service octet,
|
|
|
|
|
followed in decending significance order by the
|
|
|
|
|
.IR D ,
|
|
|
|
|
.IR T ,
|
|
|
|
|
.I R
|
|
|
|
|
and
|
|
|
|
|
.I C
|
|
|
|
|
bits. The least significant bit must be zero. Only one of the
|
|
|
|
|
.IR D ,
|
|
|
|
|
.IR T ,
|
|
|
|
|
.I R
|
|
|
|
|
or
|
|
|
|
|
.I C
|
|
|
|
|
bits may be set.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
RFC2474 defines the Distributed Services Code Point, or
|
|
|
|
|
DSCP.
|
|
|
|
|
This acts as a selector between 64 possible behaviours that the
|
|
|
|
|
network can apply to the packet. The
|
|
|
|
|
.I DSCP
|
|
|
|
|
is in the most significant six bits of the type of service octet.
|
|
|
|
|
The remaining least significant two bits of the octet must be
|
|
|
|
|
zero.

|
.SH BUGS
|
|
|
|
|
UDP isn't really useable with large packets because of sockets
|
|
|
|
|
limitations and the lack of workaround code.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The numeric arguments to
|
|
|
|
|
.B -p
|
|
|
|
|
and
|
|
|
|
|
.B -P
|
|
|
|
|
can be in decimal (such as 11), octal (such as 013) or hexadecimal
|
|
|
|
|
(such as 0x0b). So padding decimal arguments with leading zeros will
|
|
|
|
|
change the value read.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You may need to be superuser to set some
|
|
|
|
|
.B -p
|
|
|
|
|
or
|
|
|
|
|
.B -P
|
|
|
|
|
values.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
ICP support is far from perfect, specially on the Alpha or when
|
|
|
|
|
something goes wrong (filtering for instance).
