Re: Comcast Network Peer Survey on DSCP/ECN for L4S

This seems to be missing some of the reasons/why things are remarked, perhaps it would be wise to bring some of the 
people interested in this to the various vendor-specific lists or such?

For example, for some hardware types, enabling any sort of rate shaping at all will rewrite the DSCP values, even for 
packets that do not traverse the shaped interfaces.

Hi – Comcast is working on the implementation of ultra-low latency networking, leveraging the IETF’s upcoming L4S 
standard. This standard will require passing ECN and DSCP markings across network boundaries. As a result, we are 
interested in your perspective on this and in how you handle markings today. We have a short survey that should only 
take a few minutes to complete. Take the survey at https://forms.office.com/r/vGb0LUXfS1
 
While any network operator is welcome to take this, we are particularly interested in any networks that are directly 
interconnected with us today.
 
Thank you!
