Thanks for this info. Though I thought during the POP hop, top label will be copied to the bottom label for Uniform,short pipe mode? is this right?

Do I still need the qos-groups in this case? --- On Mon, 9/19/11, Vitkovsky, Adam <avitkov...@emea.att.com> wrote: From: Vitkovsky, Adam <avitkov...@emea.att.com> Subject: Re: [c-nsp] 7200 DSCP-to-EXP Mapping To: "Oliver Boehmer (oboehmer)" <oboeh...@cisco.com>, " cisco-nsp@puck.nether.net " < cisco-nsp@puck.nether.net > Date: Monday, September 19, 2011, 8:13 PM Speaking of pipe modes :) I also failed to use the pipe mode with 12.2.33 SR codes As I was not able to use the qos-groups to keep track of the EXP value on the egress PE So on 7200s I pretty much got stuck with a short pipe mode and "set mpls-exp imposition" at the ingress PE adam -----Original Message----- From: cisco-nsp-boun...@puck.nether.net [mailto:cisco-nsp-boun...@puck.nether.net] On Behalf Of Oliver Boehmer (oboehmer) Sent: Monday, September 19, 2011 1:43 PM To: cisco-nsp@puck.nether.net Subject: Re: [c-nsp] 7200 DSCP-to-EXP Mapping > > > > > I don't think there is in alternative to "set dscp > > > default" on ingress policy-maps to effectively remark > > > ingress traffic on an edge-LSR device. > > > > Not sure what you mean - as in you don't think we can mark > > anything other than 'default' on ingress? > > 'course not, sorry.. I meant to replace "default" by "<value>" before > sending, but forgot :-| and before someone argues: the above is obviously not relevant when using pipe/short-pipe mode, then you do NOT want to touch the ingress DSCP at all... oli _______________________________________________ cisco-nsp mailing list cisco-nsp@puck.nether.net https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/cisco-nsp archive at http://puck.nether.net/pipermail/cisco-nsp/ _______________________________________________ cisco-nsp mailing list cisco-nsp@puck.nether.net https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/cisco-nsp archive at http://puck.nether.net/pipermail/cisco-nsp/ _______________________________________________ cisco-nsp mailing list cisco-nsp@puck.nether.net https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/cisco-nsp archive at http://puck.nether.net/pipermail/cisco-nsp/
