Re: [mpls-linux-general] packet identification

Hello,

I'm not sure what else you expect for a response.  I said I think it
can be done you will need to use iptables and the do packet marking.  Then
use the markings to set the EXP bits.  If you're looking for specific
commands RTFM.

The steps for doing the above are very similar to how you would go about
implement DiffServ for linux.  Read up on how to use the DSCP to affect queuing
and you will be very close to the task at hand.
