619 the IPv4/IPv6 header DSCP field (differentiated services codepoint).
620
621 The DSCP field can have any value between 0x0 and 0x3f inclusive.
622
623 It will also add a "tos" match, which allows you to match packets
624 based on the Type Of Service fields of the IPv4 packet (which share

645 As opposed to `limit', this match dynamically creates a hash table
646 of limit buckets, based on your selection of source/destination
647 addresses and/or ports.
648
649 It enables you to express policies like `10kpps for any given
650 destination address' or `500pps from any given source address'
651 with a single rule.
