Are you talking about DHCP codepoints?
What's worse, there's no way the sender can know that it's not being
bleached out on the first hop, so even if it *can* set the DHCP
codepoint, that doesn't mean it'll be honored.

Luckily(?), there are 2 points influenced by priority: DHCP and local
queueing. So it's not quite "set and pray".

(I'm hoping Windows eventually fixes its deficency....)
