Change DSCP Tag on Sync Packets to EF (46) from CS0 (00) #1910

Closed krhodus closed 2 weeks ago

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Changing the DSCP tag on Sync packets would allow for QoS to be implemented in larger show networks to ensure that sync packets are protected and priortized through the network above standard traffic. Many switches natively will treat EF packets with priority with QoS enabled or already have EF setup as a priority queue when enabling DSCP-based QoS.

Describe the solution you'd like Set DSCP tag to EF (dec 46) on sync packets. This would fall in line with other network based protocols utilizing sync-style messages like PTP (IEEE1588).

Describe alternatives you've considered Manually protect the sync packets by utilizng ACLs/ ingress filters on edge switches.

This is a very edge case request applicable to a tiny number of FPP end-users. We would be open to receiving a pull request to implement this, but I cannot see it being implemented otherwise.
