	Well, I'm not sure how applicable this will be in the medium term,
since we are starting to see routing protocols that make decisions based on
TOS, and routers are marking interfaces with security levels. So, if you say
TOS '001', there is an increasing likelihood that *all* your links will have
TOS '001'; if you have TS traffic, it will only go over TS links. The probe
wouldn't return you much useful information in that case!
	On the other hand, maybe it will be useful in the short term; I just
don't have a good feel for how useful. I'd only like to add features (i.e.
complexity) to the architecture if there is a demonstrated need, and I don't
recall any agitation for it. Is there need and use for this?
	Also, as Jeff points out, let's not divert effort from the MTU stuff
at hand. We have to get this out!

	Noel
