That looks correct to me, though it should also be added to the other Diffserv modes including a bulk tin.  Fields in TCP/IP are all laid out in "network order" which is most-significant bit/byte first, the same way you'd *normally* write a number down.

The TOS field can sometimes be confusing because the DSCP field is the upper 6 bits and the ECN field the lower 2, and the BSD Sockets API gives you the while byte to work with while DSCPs are quoted as just their own 6 bits.  So you have to shift the latter left two bits before applying them to the former.
