+ * +---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+
+ * | DSCP | CU |
+ * +---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+

+ * CU: currently unused
+ *
+ * The whole DSCP + CU bits form the DS field.

+ * Note: the CU bits are now used for Explicit Congestion Notification

+ *
+ * A dscp_t variable stores a DS field with the CU (ECN) bits cleared.
+ * Using dscp_t allows to strictly separate DSCP and ECN bits, thus avoiding
+ * bugs where ECN bits are erroneously taken into account during FIB lookups
+ * or policy routing.
+ *
+ * Note: to get the real DSCP value contained in a dscp_t variable one would
+ * have to do a bit shift after calling inet_dscp_to_dsfield(). We could have
+ * a helper for that, but there's currently no users.
