I've recently run into a hard-to-troubleshoot issue where, somewhere
out in the greater Internet, someone was silently dropping packets from
my company that happened to be marked with DSCP AF21. I'd fully expect
others to either ignore these markings or zero them out but just
silently dropping them seems unnecessary.
So, how do you guys treat marked packets that come into/through your
networks?
