Jarek, iptables chains (this is what I think you are referring to) are not the issue. This is about the qdisc that sits immediately over the device driver and decides the order waiting packets are sent over the line/air/carrier pigeon/... . My suspicion is that skb->priority used to be set to a value that derived from the TOS bits. Then something changed and nobody noticed. -- Regards Joerg
