Not sure if this is already done, but it would be nice if the TOS bits in
the IP packets were set to "Minimize-Delay". One can of course use iptables
to do this but it would be nice if the app did it. (Examples of other apps
that do this are telnet and ssh.) These bits are used by routers to
prioritize traffic, allowing interactive traffic (and what's more
interactive than games?) to go to the front of the queue.
