Re: [hlds_linux] -tos and it's benefits
even if it isn't used on the server side of the connection, you don't know if the players could be usinf QOS rules. they definatly would not mind the tos filed being used ;) Geoff King wrote: This is more useful on a LAN/WAN than on the internet.

Any idea on what kinda load this would put on router equipment vs. no qos headers in the packet? Depends on what kind of QoS functionality is run.
