+This option causes the DSCP value associated with a socket to be set to one
+of a number of fixed strings or to numeric value.
+The &%-bI:dscp%& option may be used to ask Exim which names it knows of.
+Common values include &`throughput`&, &`mincost`&, and on newer systems
+&`ef`&, &`af41`&, etc.  Numeric values may be in the range 0 to 0x3F.

+The outbound packets from Exim will be marked with this value in the header
+(for IPv4, the TOS field; for IPv6, the TCLASS field); there is no guarantee
+that these packets will have any effect, not be stripped by networking
+equipment, or do much of anything without cooperation with your Network
+Engineer and those of all network operators between the source and destination.
