With caching enabled, a web server does not need to send a full response if content has not changed.
- If-Modified-Since is an HTTP request header that the client sends to your browser along with a request for content.
- Last-Modified is an HTTP response header that the server returns along with the requested content.
If-Modified-Since Allows a 304 Not Modified to be returned if content is unchanged
If-Modified-Since: Sat, 29 Oct 1994 19:43:31 GMT
If-None-Match Allows a 304 Not Modified to be returned if content is unchanged,

An aide-memoir for PMTU operation.

The TCPDUMP filter to match a DSCP is a little tricky to construct. I need to explain how the filter works and also what TCPDUMP sees in the ToS Byte of the IP header and then how to filter on just the DiffServ extensions.

The IP ToS Byte (DSCP and IP ECN)
FIRST THE ANSWER:
(in case it is not important to understand how the filter is constructed)
– an example filtering on DSCP decimal 20 (AF22):
tcpdump -i eth0 (ip and (ip[1] & 0xfc) >> 2 == 20) -vvv
– An example filtering on DSCP Hex 14 (also decimal 20 or AF22):
tcpdump -i eth0 (ip and (ip[1] & 0xfc) >> 2 == 0x14) –vvv
