However, assume that the OS did it perfectly, the first IP switch it reaches very well may change the DSCP to zero and in this case no error will be reported to the browser. So JS applications that use DSCP more or less need to view it as a hint and not a certainty that it will work. That lead us to put weak wording in the draft about what needs to happen that does allows not doing it on OS that don't support it and allows not reporting errors when it does not happen. I'll also note that more and more we are seeing networks both inside campuses and across SP cellular that can guarantee end to end DSCP handling across a defined set of networks.
