 It was not done by accident. The returned cmsg_type is IP_RECVTOS =
 instead of
 IP_TOS to keep it consistent with the handling of the IP_RECVTTL socket =
 option.
 I found it more important to be consistent within the same protocol =
 family
 than across different ones.
 I think that unfortunately IP_RECVTOS is not defined in any standard.
