These are fields in IP packets :

TOS stands for Type Of Service
PREC stands for precedence

These one may be usefull to determine priority for packets, but i think
they're not very used for the moment.

TTL stands for Time To Live

Which is a little bit more used by traceroute by example or for
network load tests.

RES may stands for Reset flag used to ... reset a connection, but i'm
note sure since this flag is often named RST flag, but thats the way i would
understand it.
