confusion with dport and sport
Hello,
I have found that TOS is helpful for traffic shaping. But some guide use --sport where other use --dport the handle the same thing hence I am very confusd !!
To get a good response from the ssh running on a remote server the rule can be placed in the remote server can be
`````````````````` iptables -t mangle -A PREROUTING -p tcp --dport $SSH_PORT -j TOS --set-tos Minimize-Delay `````````````````````
BUT some site do the same by replacing --dport to --sport
Which one should be the right value ? Please enlighten me. Thanks

--dport is used for destination port for which it refers to packets coming up to your gateway/pc destined for a specific port, and --sport is used for source port for which it refers to packets going out from your pc destined for that port.
