设置socket IP_TOS选项

在IP头中，有一Type-of-Service字段，该字段描述了IP包的

优先级和QoS选项，使用IP_TOS可以来设定该字段的值：

使用setsockopt设置IP_TOS代码如下：

unsigned char  service_type = 0xe0 | IPTOS_LOWDELAY | IPTOS_RELIABILITY;

if(setsockopt(sock, SOL_IP/*IPPROTO_IP*/, IP_TOS, (void *)&service_type, sizeof(service_type)) < 0)

        perror("setsockopt(IP_TOS) failed:");

使用getsockopt读取IP_TOS代码如下：

int optval = 0;

int optlen = sizeof(optval);

if(getsockopt(sock, SOL_IP, IP_TOS, (void *)&optval, &optlen) < 0)

        perror("getsockopt(IP_TOS) failed:");

else

        printf("OPTVAL=%x.\n", optval)

在socket设置IP_TOS后，用wireshark抓取该socket上发送的数据，查看IP头部可以看到设置的值。

附man手册中IP_TOS、SO_PRIORITY说明：

IP_TOS:  SOL_IP / IPPROTO_IP(BSD);  IP_TOS Set  or  receive  the  Type-Of-Service (TOS)  field 

                that is sent with every IP packet originating from this socket.  It is used to prioritize packets 

                on the network.  TOS is a byte. There are some standard TOS flags defined: 

                IPTOS_LOWDELAY to minimize delays for interactive traffic, 

IPTOS_THROUGHPUT to optimize throughput, 

                IPTOS_RELIABILITY to optimize for reliability, 

                IPTOS_MINCOST should be used for "filler data"  where  slow transmission doesn't matter.  

At most one of these TOS values can be specified.  Other bits are invalid and shall be cleared.  Linux sends 

                IPTOS_LOWDELAY datagrams first by default, but the exact behaviour depends on the 

                configured queueing discipline.  Some high priority levels may require superuser 

                privileges (the CAP_NET_ADMIN capability).  The priority can also be set in a protocol 

                independent way by the (SOL_SOCKET,  SO_PRIORITY) socket option (see socket(7)).

 

SO_PRIORITY:  SOL_SOCKET;  SO_PRIORITY Set the protocol-defined priority for all packets to be

                sent on this socket.  Linux uses this value to order the networking queues: packets with a 

                higher priority may be processed  first  depending on  the  selected device queueing 

                discipline. For ip(7), this also sets the IP type-of-service (TOS) field for outgoing packets.  

                Setting a priority  outside the range 0 to 6 requires the CAP_NET_ADMIN capability.
