+.option dscp smtp string unset
+.cindex "DCSP"
+.cindex "DiffServ"
+This option causes the DSCP value associated with a socket to be set to one
+of a number of fixed strings. The &%-bI:dscp%& option may be used to ask
+Exim which values it knows of. Common values include &`throughput`&,
+&`mincost`&, and on newer systems &`ef`&, &`af41`&, ...
+
+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.
