    Qos2 api

    Hi Guys,

    Does anyone have any code examples of using this? Specifically I need to be able to use QOSSetOutgoingDSCPValue to set the DSCP TOS bit mask for ICMP and UDP. This used to be super easy...
  5. Re: setting tos field in packet header using ICMPSENDECHO

    Dam and blast. I now find that MS removed the way to simply set TOS in Vista. Does anyone know of a method to manipulate the TOS bits in the IP header?

    Re: Curious non-Modal behavior of MsgBox

    Interestingly that UDT bug example behaves correctly if optimization is off when compiling to native code which suggests that the bug is in C2.exe no?

    Re: Winapi call to get ephemeral port range

    Unfortunately this logic is not reliable.

    Vista and newer is not always 49152 to 65535. It can be set with netsh....
