Yes please. HOW? That is what I have been asking since the first post - 
how do you suggest honoring DSCP for paying customers AND ignoring them 
for non-paying customers (while leaving them alone) - WITHOUT putting the 
traffic onto "dedicated" networks (be it L2 or L3)? If you can answer that 
single question I'll shut up and run along to implement it. (And keep in 
mind not all providers have a full MPLS core, so let's stick to normal IP 
forwarding please).
