Diffserv was not part of the FreeBSD sourcebase we used for the
current eCos TCP/IP stack. There is support present in the current
FreeBSD source repository and if we ever upgrade the stack then the
option to add diffserv would be available. However, there are
currently no plans to do that since it would destabilize the network
support and would probably increase its size considerably.
