	I believe this should be two independent options, best effort already exists, so it is really a "re-mapp all DSCPs to 0” option that would be great to have (this would allow a simple.qos equivalent without needing iptables)

	What is broken in cake’s diffserv, that is not already broken under-specified in the diffserv RFC?

	What are the current patches do that falls outside of cake itself?

	What is the ETA, I still want to add a maxpacket statistic to the outputs, and want to know how much time I have. Getting maxpackets is quite helpful for dealing with different encapsulations (especially in figuring out which headers the kernel does or does not add automatically).

Best Regards
