iperf TOS option

CLIENT SPECIFIC OPTIONS

-S, --tos N               set the IP 'type of service'

The type-of-service for outgoing packets. (Many routers ignore the TOS field.)
You may specify the value in hex with a '0x' prefix, in octal with a '0' prefix, or in decimal.
For example, '0x10' hex = '020' octal = '16' decimal.
The TOS numbers specified in RFC 1349 are:

    IPTOS_LOWDELAY     minimize delay        0x10
    IPTOS_THROUGHPUT   maximize throughput   0x08
    IPTOS_RELIABILITY  maximize reliability  0x04
    IPTOS_LOWCOST      minimize cost         0x02

"PRECEDENCE" is intended to denote the importance or priority of the datagram.

The last field, labeled "MBZ" (for "must be zero") above, is currently unused.

1000   --   minimize delay ( + MBZ (0) = 1000 0 = 1 0000 = 0x10)
0100   --   maximize throughput ( + MBZ (0) = 0100 0 = 0 1000 = 0x08)
0010   --   maximize reliability ( + MBZ (0) = 0010 0 = 0 0100 = 0x04)
0001   --   minimize monetary cost ( + MBZ (0) = 0001 0 = 0 0010 = 0x02)
0000   --   normal service ( + MBZ (0) = 0000 0 = 0 0000 = 0x00)

A. DOD DD173 Precedence/Priority Filed Explanations (Lowest-Highest):

Routine: (R) “…is used for all messages that justify transmission by electrical means unless the message delivery is of sufficient urgency to require higher precedence.”
Priority: (P) “…is used for all messages that require expeditious action by the addressee(s) and/or furnish essential information for the conduct of ongoing operations.”
Immediate (O) “…is reserved for messages relating to situations that gravely affect the security of National/Allied forces or populace.”
Flash (Z) “…is reserved for initial enemy contact messages or operational combat messages of extreme urgency.”
Flash Override (X) “… is reserved for messages relating to the outbreak of hostilities and/or detonation of nuclear devices.”
CRITIC/ECP “…stands for “Critical and Emergency Call Processing” and should only be used for authorized emergency communications, for example in the United States Government Emergency Telecommunications Service (GETS), the United Kingdom Government Telephone Preference Scheme (GTPS) and similar government emergency preparedness or reactionary implementations elsewhere.”
1. Network Control “…is intended to be used within a network only. The actual use and control of that designation is up to each network.”

2. Internetwork Control “…is intended for use by gateway control originators only.”
