Re: [PATCH] gre: copy ToS/DiffServ bits to outer IP header
From: Andreas Jaggi
Date: Tue Jun 30 2009 - 05:06:59 EST
And the corresponding patch for iproute2.
When tunneling IP traffic with GRE this patch makes it possible to
export the ToS/DiffServ information to the outer IP header.
This is particularly useful in a scenario with ESP/AH where the inner
IP header is encrypted but the packet priority/DiffServ information
should still be respected by the transporting routers (for example in
an MPLS backbone network).
The feature is disabled by default and can be enabled on a
per-interface basis (/proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/ethX/gre_copy_tos).
Also does this bring Linux back in the game, as JunOS/IOS provide this
for quite some time:
