Sure:

Python 3.12.3

jdamato@...t:~/mlnx-tools/python$ ./mlnx_qos -i vlan401

Thanks, again, for your careful thoughts and review on this. I do
appreciate it and this functionality will be extremely useful for me
(and I suspect many others).

OK, the above makes sense. I'll give that a try.

OK. I'll try the above and propose an rfc v4.
