[Bug 407173] [NEW] openssh: Please set traffic class on IPv6 packets

[Malcolm Scott]

Public bug reported:

OpenSSH sets the IPv4 ToS (Type of Service) byte to "low delay" or "max
throughput" depending on the situation, but does not set the equivalent
IPv6 Traffic Class byte.  As far as I understand, these two bytes are
supposed to be used the same way.  Debian bug
http://bugs.debian.org/498297 has a patch to correct this.
