When I mark with DSCP a packet, is it only for routed packets? I mean if a mark packet going through my machine, but locally generated (suposse a squid packet); if I want to iddentify this packet before it going out (suposse for traffic control purposes) how would I mark the packet so I can handle it later with iproute2. -- A child can go only so far in life without potty training. It is not mere coincidence that six of the last seven presidents were potty trained, not to mention nearly half of the nation's state legislators. -- Dave Barry
