Hi Bob. I'm new to TOS and DSCP, but after going over your and Rich 
Adamson's responses to Steve BerkHolz's question, I read up about them.

With what you wrote above, does this mean that your Cisco router(s) deny, 
allow, and route traffic based on TOS/DSCP flags, and you don't bother 
with traditional ACL rules like below?:
    access-list 123 permit udp 1.2.3.4 ...

Cheers,
