Nope. Look into linux/ip.h as all the "legal" values are defined there and
maintained there. I hacked on TOS to make the FTOS module available
through the patch-o-matic. FTOS will allow you to set any value between
0-255 into the DSCP field. But it will not check if a value already
exists. The syntax is:
iptables -t mangle -A PREROUTING -s 10.0.0.2 -j FTOS --set-ftos 0xab
If all you are looking to do is set the field to any value that will work
- also works in the POSTROUTING chain for outgoing. Enjoy.
