Hi all, we're planning to introduce MPLS within our network backbone, among other things for QoS purposes. Our current concept is based solely on using EXP values for different priority levels (the IP TOS fields need to be left unchanged.)
Aside from applications which require higher-than-normal forwarding priorities, we have a small number of traffic flows which we'd like to assign a lower-than-normal priority. As far as I can see, this would require an EXP value > 0 for standard traffic. More precisely, I'd need to set a specific default EXP value for all labels imposed on a MPLS router, regardless of interface etc. Are there easy methods to achieve this goal, preferably on the global configuration level? The only solution I've found so far is to impose that default EXP value via a service policy attached to the respective interfaces. But given the number of interface configs, this would be extremely cumbersome to manage, and additionally it would interfere with existing service policies. I think this is definitely not the way to go. Any suggestions regarding an alternative design would be also welcome. We're using c6500/Sup720/PFC3 devices with IOS version s72033-advipservicesk9_wan-mz.122-33.SXI3. Thanks for your advice, Patrick _______________________________________________ cisco-nsp mailing list [email protected] https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/cisco-nsp archive at http://puck.nether.net/pipermail/cisco-nsp/
