In the current releases of Wireshark 1.6.x (verified with 1.6.6), adding and
displaying a column with field type "IP DSCP Value" only shows the IPv4 DSCP
values, and does not includes IPv6 DSCP. That is, it displays ip.dsfield.dscp
only. To view IPv6 DSCP, a custom column must be added with the field
ipv6.traffic_class.dscp. This results in two columns to display what is really
the same value and function, per RFC 2474: http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2474

I ask that Wireshark allow the display of either ip.dsfield.dsscp or
ipv6.traffic_class.dscp when adding a column of type "IP DSCP Value" to
eliminate the need for one column per IP version.
