iperf 2 now supports a --dscp option as a convenience (vs setting the 
--tos byte.) I can confirm --dscp 45 is being passed over my xfinity hop 
to my linodes (now Akamai) servers in both directions at multiple colo 
locations.

The --dscp is in the master branch. 
https://sourceforge.net/p/iperf2/code/ci/master/tree/  Older versions 
require --tos and setting the byte, e.g. 180
