First of all, most routers that apply quality of service mechanisms don't set the type of service in the process. However, many can use the type of service as input for their QoS decisions. Second, routers generally pass these bits unmodified, unless specifically instructed to change them. Third, these bits are often interpreted as a diffserv code point rather than the original type of service meaning. One setup I've used myself is set the type of service selectively using a rate limit on a Cisco router, and then do traffic shaping for packets matching this type of service on another router. AFAIK this isn't a particular common setup, though.
