[cisco-bba] L2TP tunnel switching not copying dscp bitsbetweensession L2TP tunnel switching not copying dscp bitsbetweensession headers

[Paul Horrocks (phorrock)]

Yes 'l2tp ip tos reflect is not supported on LTS - LNS only.  

The below is the workaround as detailed in CSCee27441

=======================================
It has been found that the correct mode of operation where the TOS field
is reflected correctly
into the L2TP header can be achieved by adding the following config
below. This was tested with
12.3(4)T5 and 12.3(7.11)T. However, it still has to be determined
whether it should be necessary
to make the changes below or whether the TOS relfect feature needs to be
corrected for the
C7X00 platforms.
