Hi Toke,
I'm guessing this was probably discussed before and I've simply
forgotten; but why does this (rewriting dscp bits) need to be part of
the qdisc when you can do it with iptables?
Well, cake looks at the DSCP bits already, if it can do the re-mapping
we potentially would not need to touch iptables at all, which cakes goal being
simplicity seemed on-focus. But since this feature turned out to be
contentious, I vote for throwing it out and just rely on iptables… I believe
Jonathan argued that the re-mapping really is an orthogonal issue that does not
conceptually belong into a qdisc, a valid points as by now everyone agrees…
Best Regards

One silly question from ignorant fool: Can you do the iptables DSCP
remapping in such a way that the qdisc still sees/prioritize based on
them but clear/remap on output?
