Unlike Microsoft network monitor, Wireshark (Version 3.0.0 (v3.0.0-0-g937e33de) ) always shows DSCP value as CS0 for TCP and CS7 for UDP irrespective of whatever actual value is set.

Wireshark 2.x version & Microsoft network monitor shows the values properly.

How do I see the correct DSCP value using latest Wireshark?

I don't see this. Can you share a capture file showing this? Any public file sharing site would do.

I m not able to upload screen shots as it needs 60 points.

I am using windows pro 1809 machine. Observed on multiple machines.

Jaap said "share a capture file", not "share a screenshot of what Wireshark displays for a capture file", and captures can be uploaded to sharing sites such as Dropbox/Google Drive/etc. to make it available.

Or you can report this as a bug on the Wireshark Bugzilla and attach a capture file to the bug report.

Please find here the UDP stream. https://drive.google.com/open?id=1cgd...

This shows UDP packets with both CS7 and EF PHB for me.

I am referring to the outgoing packets with CS7 markings.

You seem to know what 'incoming' and 'outgoing' means, we have no such reference. From your remark I deduce that the interface you capture on has IP address 148.147.224.161, correct?

The capture indeed shows for all the UDP packets an DSCP of 56 (CS7). This is the packet contents as presented to Wireshark by the capture driver. What capture driver do you use? Did you switch to Npcap, or did you stay with WinPcap? If you switched, can you go back to WinPcap (keeping Wireshark as is) and see if that makes a difference? Or what happens is you update Npcap to version 0.995?

I am using Npcap 0.99-r9. I will check with WinPcap and let you know.

The out going UDP traffic marking are shown always CS7(56) by wireshark irrespective of the value I am marking. For same packets, DSCP values are properly shown by microsoft network monitor.

Even with winPCap, wireshark is not showing correct dscp values.

Well, "not showing the correct dscp values" might not be the correct statement here. I've loaded your capture file in both Wireshark 2.4 (v2.4.16rc0-19-g2cd40589d8) and Wireshark 2.6 (v2.6.10rc0-22-g8e4ce399) and both give the same result for the UDP packets from 148.147.224.161 to 148.147.155.1: the DS field has value 0xe0, therefore the DSCP field is CS7.

So the question remains, what did you see previously? Was that the exact same situation? Can you still replicate that previous result? Otherwise, can you capture 'on the wire' instead of on the interface. That means trough some intermediate capture point, e.g., a span port.

Please refer https://drive.google.com/open?id=1qrQ... (may help to compare 2.4 and 2.6+ version captures) capture using Wireshare version 2.4 from same machine. In 2.4 version the values matches to what I am setting but with 2.6+version the outgoing udp packets are always shown marked with CS7 and TCP with CS0.

From what I can see there's something going on with the capture on the interface. It would be helpful to have a capture off the wire (not the interface) to see what's actually going on, on the wire.

Can you please share the procedure to capture on the wire?

Thanks

Through the use of a tap or monitor port on the switch. There are numerous descriptions out there.
