1 IP TOS module for nginx.
2
3 This module was designed to allow setting of ip_tos ip header byte on
4 outgoing packets sent by nginx. It may be used to implement smart QoS
5 and traffic shaping at firewall/router level.
6
7 Note that it doesn't try to impose any limits on TOS field and should be used
8 with care. At least you probably shouldn't touch two lower bits related
9 to ECN.

17 Configuration directives:
18
19 ip_tos (off|0xHH)
20
21 Context: http, server, location
22 Default: off
23
24 Switches ip tos setting and specifies value to use.
25
26 Usage:
27
28 ip_tos 0x00;
29
30 location /video/ {
31 ip_tos 0x10;
32 }
33
34 Note that setting TOS happens at request start and only if configured, so
35 keepalive connections may inherit TOS from previous request. It is good
36 idea to explicitly set default TOS value at server level (or even at http
37 level if the same listening socket used by more than one server).
38
39 To compile nginx with ip tos module use "--add-module <path>" option to nginx
40 configure.
