Sorry I fail to understand this. Could you elaborate with an example? Let's assume I'm AS1 and 2.0.0.0/16 from AS2 is sending me DSCP CS5, which I don't want to honor. And 2.1.0.0/16 from AS2 is sending me DSCP CS5, which I want to honor. How in practice should I honour 2.0.0.0/16 to every destination in my network and never honor from 2.1.0.0/16 to any of destinations in my network? My margins unfortunately don't permit building two paths to each directions. -- ++ytti
