 * inet_dscp.h: helpers for handling differentiated services codepoints (DSCP)
 *
 * DSCP is defined in RFC 2474:
 *
 *        0   1   2   3   4   5   6   7
 *      +---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+
 *      |         DSCP          |  CU   |
 *      +---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+
 *
 *        DSCP: differentiated services codepoint
 *        CU:   currently unused
 *
 * The whole DSCP + CU bits form the DS field.
 * The DS field is also commonly called TOS or Traffic Class (for IPv6).
 *
 * Note: the CU bits are now used for Explicit Congestion Notification
 *       (RFC 3168).

/* Special type for storing DSCP values.
 *
 * A dscp_t variable stores a DS field with the CU (ECN) bits cleared.
 * Using dscp_t allows to strictly separate DSCP and ECN bits, thus avoiding
 * bugs where ECN bits are erroneously taken into account during FIB lookups
 * or policy routing.
 *
 * Note: to get the real DSCP value contained in a dscp_t variable one would
 * have to do a bit shift after calling inet_dscp_to_dsfield(). We could have
 * a helper for that, but there's currently no users.
