I don't know why Wireshark does not understand this, but it is defined in RFC2474 as Class Selector 2 or simply IP precedence of 2 (of 7). If you add the ECN bit, you have Assured Forwarding at IP priority 2. Whether you pass or respond to the DSCP bits is, of course, a personal choice, but there is nothing unusual with this and ssh has bee setting the bit for a long time. -- R.
