Subject: [PATCH iproute2-next v2 2/3] man: tc-pedit: Add examples for dsfield and retain
Describe a way to update just the DSCP and just the ECN part of the
dsfield. That is useful on its own, but also it shows how retain works.

+To rewrite just part of a field, use the
+.B retain
+directive. E.g. to overwrite the DSCP part of a dsfield with $DSCP, without
+touching ECN:
+
+.RS
+.EX
+tc filter add dev eth0 ingress flower ... \\
+ action pedit ex munge ip dsfield set $((DSCP << 2)) retain 0xfc
+.EE

+
+And vice versa, to set ECN to e.g. 1 without impacting DSCP:
+
+.RS
+.EX
+tc filter add dev eth0 ingress flower ... \\
+ action pedit ex munge ip dsfield set 1 retain 0x3
