Title:
  openssh: Please set traffic class on IPv6 packets

Status in Portable OpenSSH:
  Fix Released
Status in “openssh” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged
Status in “openssh” package in Debian:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  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.
