One reason to do this is to use a different egress PE classification scheme and rewrite ruleset than what is used in the core. This allows for setting different core EXP values than what would be preserved at egress and then, potentially, used for egress marking, thus maintaining TOS transparency end-to-end. I believe this is called the short-pipe model.

Why would you want to do that? Labels are used only inside your backbone where you have the same QoS policy in all the routers. It's going to be
a burden to configure QoS policies on interfaces because you will have
to think "is this router doing the PHP or not?"

Subject: Re: [j-nsp] MPLS EXP bit marking question

Masood, Nugroho

Thank you for the reply. I agree with both of you that rewrite takes
effect
on both inner and outer mpls label. My next question is:
what if I want to mark inner and outer MPLS label differently? Say I
want
mark the inner exp with 5 and outer exp with 6? Is it possible to
achieve
this?

Thanks,

Li

All,

There is a network like CE --- PE --- P. The PE is M320. Traffic is
from
CE
to P. The traffic out of CE is native IP, after it reaches and gets
out
PE
(then to P), it is double-tagged with MPLS lable. There is a exp
rewrite-rule applied on PE link to P router. My questions is
will the rewrite-rule take effect on both tags or only the outer
tag?

Thanks,

Li
