As for what is driving this?  Upcoming wifi standard to allow
access points to inform client devices how to dscp mark individual flows.
Interesting.

How does the sending host get this dscp value from wifi and then
affect the dscp of a particular flow?  Is the dscp going to be
stored in a bpf map for the bpf prog to use?
It gets it out of band via some wifi signaling mechanism.
Tyler probably knows the details.

Storing flow match information to dscp mapping in a bpf map is indeed the plan.
This is for an upcoming QoS Wifi Alliance spec.
Got a link, or some other information about the specifics of this? :)
