+/** Marking APIs
+ * This Marking functionality entails changes to packet header to reflect the
+ * color marking of the packet on the port level shaper. This is an optional
+ * feature and if available on the platform is used to reflect the packet color
+ * on IPv4/IPv6 DiffServ filed in accordance with RFC 2474. There are three
+ * different packet marking fields supported they are,
+ * 1). Assured forwarding in accordance with RFC 2597, the DSCP is marked to
+ * set the packet Drop precedence in accordance with the color, i.e High Drop
+ * precedence for RED, Medium Drop precedence for YELLOW and leave the DSCP
+ * unchangesd if the color is GREEN.
+ * 2). Explicit Congestion Notification protocol per RFC 3168, where a router
+ * encountering congestion can notifiy it by setting the lower 2 bits in
+ * DiffServ field to "11" Congestion Encountered code, which will ultimately
+ * reduce the transmission rate of the packet sender.
+ * 3). In IEEE 802.1q VLAN tag header contains a DE - Drop Eligibility bit for
+ * marking a packet for Downstream switches, and is valid for Ethernet packet
+ * containing a VLAN tag.
+ *
+ * RFC 3168 is only valid for TCP packets whereas RFC 2597 is valid for IPv4/IPv6
+ * traffic.
