+The printed lines will contain information about the QoS field of received
+packets if either a non-standard QoS setting was used on outgoing packets or if
+the QoS byte of incoming packets is not zero. In other words, the QoS
+information is omitted if both, the outgoing and the incoming QoS bytes are
+zero. The received byte is always interpreted as
+I<Differentiated Services Code Point> (DSCP) and
+I<Explicit Congestion Notification> (ECN), even if the deprecated
+I<Type of Service> (ToS) aliases were used to specify the bits of outgoing
+packets.
