Re: [squid-users] TOS from remote to squid(2 series)

remote servers I mean http web servers TOS.
I already know about peers in fact current squid(as of 04/24/11) TOS are not
being marked peer(digest or icp) hit when local miss.
http://bugs.squid-cache.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3202

AFAIK squid 2 series TOS always marked zero from remote servers.
according to source code initial tos=0;

there are some patches called preserve tos miss but kernel(linux) needs to
be patched.

does kernel really need to patch in order to pass the TOS value from kernel
to squid?
