I took note of nw_tos=, ip_dscp=, nw_ecn=, and ip_ecn= for DSCP and ECN
matching and mod_nw_tos:, mod_nw_ecn:, mod_nw_ecn: for setting DSCP and
ECN values.
So the DiffServ functionality would have to be implemented on OVS ...
Correct?
And could be implemented as a layer on OVS ... Correct?
Does anything currently do this?
