ipfw(8) really doesn't do anything to change the contents of
packets. However, using ipfw(8) to divert(4) packets to a very simple
daemon which then messes with the diffserv field is not tough. I
actually made up a very simple daemon, Divert Packet Capture Daemon
(dpcd), that is made to take care of all of the divert(4) stuff for
you, you just need to add a code module to do the packet
modifications.
