[Live-devel] where to set the IP TOS field

What I would do is subclass “RTSPServer”, and - in your subclass - reimplement the “createNewClientConnection()” virtual function, as follows:

ClientConnection* myRTSPServerSubclass::createNewClientConnection(int clientSocket, struct sockaddr_in clientAddr) {
	// Do whatever you need to do to set the IP TOS field (for “clientSocket”).

	return RTSPServer::createNewClientConnection(clientSocket, clientAddr);
}
