Hi there,
I'm trying to apply some QoS from PE1 to PE2 to guarantee some traffic. Below is the configuration:
PE1#sh run int mul1
Building configuration...
Current configuration : 513 bytes
!
interface Multilink1
description Cust_A_HQ
ip vrf forwarding CustA
ip address 10.10.10.241 255.255.255.252
rate-limit input access-group 181 512000 96000 192000 conform-action set-prec-transmit 5 exceed-action continue
rate-limit output access-group 181 512000 96000 192000 conform-action set-prec-transmit 5 exceed-action continue
ip route-cache flow
no cdp enable
ppp multilink
ppp multilink fragment delay 10
ppp multilink interleave
ppp multilink group 1
end
PE2
PE2#sh run int mul3
Building configuration...
Current configuration : 557 bytes
!
interface Multilink3
description Cust_A_East
ip vrf forwarding CustA
ip address 10.10.10.237 255.255.255.252
rate-limit input access-group 181 64000 12000 24000 conform-action set-prec-transmit 5 exceed-action set-prec-transmit 5
rate-limit output access-group 181 64000 12000 24000 conform-action set-prec-transmit 5 exceed-action set-prec-transmit 5
ip route-cache flow
load-interval 30
no cdp enable
ppp multilink
ppp multilink fragment delay 10
ppp multilink interleave
ppp multilink group 3
end
Based on the config above, are the traffic defined in the access-list 181 in PE1 and PE2 will be set a ip precedence in MPLS VPN cloud?
If I'm not mistaken, ip precedence value is not relevent in MPLS VPN because MPLS experimental bits are used to determine QoS treatment in the cloud. How true is this?
Some of the service provider in my area marking as ip precedence in their cloud.
Thanks in advanced.

Hi Maher,
I would recommend class-based QoS configs, because you can set MPLS exp bits there. Nevertheless, because a PE copies the IP precedence into MPLS exp field by default it should still work. My doubt is just the interference with CEF and the rate-limit command ... still it should work.
In the MPLS cloud classification is based on exp bits. That is the only QoS marking a LSR can use because of label switching.
Hope this helps! Please rate all posts.
