Subject: [PATCH] gre: copy ToS/DiffServ bits to outer IP header
When tunneling IP traffic with GRE this patch makes it possible to export the ToS/DiffServ information to the outer IP header.
This is particularly useful in a scenario with ESP/AH where the inner IP header is encrypted but the packet priority/DiffServ information
should still be respected by the transporting routers (for example in an MPLS backbone network).
The feature is disabled by default and can be enabled on a per-interface basis (/proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/ethX/gre_copy_tos).
Also does this bring Linux back in the game, as JunOS/IOS provide this for quite some time:
