Is there room to put the Sender Type-P Descriptor in the reflected

something similar was done with the DSCP value as seen by the
reflector was put into the TWAMP-Test payload as well. This way the
sender can determine if the DSCP is being modified between the sender
and reflector in either direction.
Interesting idea, Walt. Perhaps this could be an option.
There may be one or more places where we could tighten-up
the handling of DSCP (or Type-P) in the text.
Any other thoughts on this?
What would be the technical consequences of this? If it is a matter of
adding a byte somewhere then please provide text. If it is more than
just that, then I'm a bit reluctant to add this at such a late stage
of the proceedings. We really need to get this (and a few other)
draft done.
