I'd be extremely surprised if it makes any difference at all. i mean, who is really 1) looking at DSCP/TOS at all, - and - 2) using them for different forward9ng priorities - and - 3) has congestion/fwd capa shortage so that it actually makes a difference, - and - 4) trusts externally set TOS/DSCP ? -- Henning Brauer, [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] BS Web Services, http://bsws.de Full-Service ISP - Secure Hosting, Mail and DNS Services Dedicated Servers, Rootservers, Application Hosting - Hamburg & Amsterdam
