Ping TOS to test QOS...

I had a thought, (don't laugh, it happens), is it possible to use the TOS
setting
in extended Ping to test QOS classification? I did a little research on
conversion
of TOS byte setting to IPP or DSCP and the best I could come up with is
that
a TOS of 1 or 8 would convert to IPP 1 or DSCP 8? I played around with it
for awhile, setting up a policy-map to match DSCP 1, DSCP 8 and IPP 1
and then set to TOS in the extended ping on a different router to 1 and
none of the class maps in the policy map had packet counts greater than 0.

Either I'm converting TOS to IPP/DSCP wrong or I'm completely off base with
this.?.?
