SSH clients still set ToS bits to 0x10.

And our default pfifo_fast qdisc puts this into the high-prio band.
(TC_PRIO_INTERACTIVE=6 mapped via prio2band[16] to band 0)

rt_tos2priority() lookup bit masks "tos & 0x1E"
(and perform mapping lookup (note shift right(tos)>>1) in ip_tos2prio[16])

Maybe the kernel is handling DSCP wrongly? see below.

E.g. kernel will map AF12 to TC_PRIO_INTERACTIVE
 ((0x30 & 0x1E)>>1) => 8
 lookup in ip_tos2prio[8] = TC_PRIO_INTERACTIVE

(bash)$ echo $(((0x5C & 0x1E)>>1))  # = 14

 ip_tos2prio[14] = TC_PRIO_INTERACTIVE_BULK

Is it a bug, that we put DSCP's Expedited Forwarding (EF) into the
best-effort priority band(1) in pfifo_fast???


Below diff that highlight the kernel code doing the mapping:


[PATCH] net: tracking to ToS/DSCP values are mapped to pfifo_fast prio bands

From: Jesper Dangaard Brouer <brouer@...hat.com>

Something seems wrong with the mapping of DSCP mappings to prio bands
in our default pfifo_fast qdisc.

Especially it seems strange, that DSCP's Expedited Forwarding (EF)
get mapped into the best-effort priority band(1) in pfifo_fast.
