I assumed most upstreams cleared the DSCP tags for transit traffic across
their networks. Apparently that was an incorrect assumption. It sure opens
up the potential for apps, malware, and pesky customers to abuse it. Cool,
I can tag all my traffic high priority!

Me too.
On the one hand, VoIP from Ring Central and some others comes through
with an appropriate DSCP tag. On the other hand, so do iOS updates for
some reason.

You must have a carrier that doesn't zero the DSCP field. I both like and

Has anyone else noticed that lots of traffic from Apple 17.0.0.0/8 has

Canopy users with iPhones may find that the update is interfering with
their regular internet usage unless you take measures to de-prioritize
that.
