Beatiful idea, how in practice do you suggest this is done, how will my router know if it should just ignore the TOS bytes or do expedited forwarding as configured for given value of TOS byte?
VLANs? Different route paths? Any of a dozen other ways to limit special processing to the networks that have paid for it and dump everybody else into the best-effort pool?
Sorry I fail to understand this. Could you elaborate with an example? Let's assume I'm AS1 and 2.0.0.0/16 from AS2 is sending me DSCP CS5, which I don't want to honor. And 2.1.0.0/16 from AS2 is sending me DSCP CS5, which I want to honor. How in practice should I honour 2.0.0.0/16 to every destination in my network and never honor from 2.1.0.0/16 to any of destinations in my network? My margins unfortunately don't permit building two paths to each directions. -- ++ytti
