Observing traffic prioritization in Comcast’s network

So, hypothetically speaking, modifying traffic as it flows through a linux firewall in order to change the DSCP field to the values used by Comcast would be useful in avoiding the caps on traffic levels.

This article only looked at downstream traffic, so all the bandwidth management is done before you can touch the packets. On the upstream, Comcast is certainly re-marking (overwriting) the QoS values based on their own priorities.
