           Summary: SO_PRIORITY does not set TOS field in IP header
           Product: Documentation
           Version: unspecified
    Kernel Version: n/a
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: Linux
              Tree: Mainline
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P1
         Component: man-pages
        AssignedTo: documentation_man-pages@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
        ReportedBy: advaitdixit@xxxxxxxxxxx
        Regression: No


The socket man page says that setsockopt with level=SOL_SOCKET  and
optname=SO_PRIORITY sets the TOS field in IP header:
http://www.kernel.org/doc/man-pages/online/pages/man7/socket.7.html

However, my experiments and other web search results suggest that the socket
man page is wrong. SO_PRIORITY does not seem to set the TOS field in the IP
header.
