    You're overlooking a point here:  the *hosts* are just as involved
    in this process -- they *must* use proper type-of-service labelling
    of their packets (as per Host Req.) for this to work.

Note that Assigned Numbers actually specifies the TOS values.  In terms of
installed base, V2.05 of PC/TCP (out since 10/90) conforms to RFC 1060 on
TOS for Telnet, FTP, SMTP, Rlogin and DNS lookups.  So do programs which use
high-level Telnet, Rlogin & FTP libraries from v2.05 of our Developer's Kit.
