NAME
       sanewall-dscp - set the DSCP field in the packet header


SYNOPSIS
       dscp {value | class classid} chain [rule-params]


DESCRIPTION
       The dscp helper command sets the DSCP field in the header of packets traffic, to allow QoS shaping.

           Note
           There is also a dscp parameter which allows matching DSCP values within individual rules (see
           optional rule parameters: sanewall-rule-params(5)).

       Set value to a decimal or hexadecimal (0xnn) number to set an explicit DSCP value or use classclassid to
       use an iptables DiffServ class, such as EF, BE, CSxx or AFxx (see iptables -j DSCP --help for more
       information).

       The chain will be used to find traffic to mark. It can be any of the iptables built in chains belonging
       to the mangle table. The chain names are: INPUT, FORWARD, OUTPUT, PREROUTING and POSTROUTING. The names
       are case-sensitive.

       The rule-params define a set of rule parameters to match the traffic that is to be marked within the
       chosen chain. See optional rule parameters: sanewall-rule-params(5) for more details.

       Any dscp commands will affect all traffic matched. They must be declared before the first router or
       interface.


EXAMPLES
           # set DSCP field to 32, packets sent by the local machine
           dscp 32 OUTPUT

           # set DSCP field to 32 (hex 20), packets routed by the local machine
           dscp 0x20 FORWARD

           # set DSCP to DiffServ class EF, packets routed by the local machine
           #              and destined for port TCP/25 of 198.51.100.1
           dscp class EF FORWARD proto tcp dport 25 dst 198.51.100.1
