IP_TOS setting wrong

In RawServer.py it looks like someone attempted to set the IP_TOS
bits.  However it is set very oddly:

in the bind() method:

server.setsockopt(socket.IPPROTO_IP, socket.IP_TOS, 32)

What does 32 mean?  

Its diffserv "IPTOS_PREC_PRIORITY 0x20"

A more appropriate value would be "IPTOS_THROUGHPUT 0x08"

Also, it needs to be set on outgoing connections for it to matter. 
Not just the server socket.
