Ok , assume i got something which alters TOS field . What then ? Can i
change TOS fields to arbitrary values ? Because i'll need unique TOS value
to ensure proper differentiation of packets , yes or not ?

What influence would it have on the traffic ? Won't it kill the transmission
?
Say  kazaa packet has 0x20 ( i hope i doesn't hehe ) what will happen if i
change it to , say ... 0x50 ? and then tell the filters to filter everything
from an address  0.0.0.0  port 0 to adress 0.0.0.0 port 0 proto 6 TOS 0x50 ?
