Status: NEW

(NSPR :: NSPR, defect)

Steps to reproduce:

We are trying to change the Type of Service field (Differentiated Services Code Point) in the outgoing LDAP packet on TCP-IP on an IPv6 connection. 

Steps to reproduce
1. Configure 2 nodes one with LDAP client and another with LDAP server.
2. Both the LDAP client and servers are on IPv6 network
3. Try to establish the LDAP connection between the 2 nodes
4. Try to change the DSCP parameter for an IPv6 packet with some value X

NOTE : This works fine for an IPv4 connection


Actual results:

Result 
1. LDAP connection is established
2. DSCP parameter is set to NULL(or 0) and not set to X

NOTE : This works fine for an IPv4 connection


Expected results:

DSCP should have been set to value X. The client is using the following code to change the DSCP for IPv6

int ldap_sock_res = prldap_get_default_socket_info( ldap_handle,&soip ) ;
if(soip.soinfo_prfd == 0)
{
   // Log an Error
}
 else
 {
     PRSocketOptionData optval;
     optval.option = PR_SockOpt_IpTypeOfService;
     optval.value.tos = 10;
     if(PR_SetSocketOption(soip.soinfo_prfd, &optval) == PR_FAILURE)
     {
	    // Log an Error
     }
 }
}

NOTE : This works fine for an IPv4 connection
