[Click] IPFilter: need to classify packets according to value of certain bits of a field

[Eddie Kohler]

Momina, aren't those bits the same as the formerly-defined DSCP
(Differentiated Services Code Point)? Can't you just say
"tcp and ip dscp = 10" or whatever? I don't understand your problem;
if you provided a specific Click configuration, perhaps using
FromIPSummaryDump in the style of the tests, showing what you expect
to happen, that would help. (Of course there's a gap between ip tos >
110 and ip tos < 110, namely ip tos == 110, but of course you know
this.)
