If you're seeing enough DoS traffic that an incorrect TOS is causing an issue
for you, you probably need to find better ways to mitigate that traffic. Remember
that at the *source* end, the DoS traffic is pretty minimal, and at the target
end, I doubt that the TOS labelling will matter in the slightest....

I'd recommend making sure that either the AS-external traffic isn't
revenue-generating, or the AS-internal traffic generates more revenue than the
external, or that the people who are generating the dropped traffic are a
set of captive customers. ;)
