Hi, Greg

Thanks. Now I am almost golden. :)

I still have some confusion about one of my previous
question. If I have IP streams with different TOS bit
set (say 0, 3, 7) and I want to them use the same LSP.
 So you need to map the EXP bit into the queues. Is
it possible to map 3 different EXP bits under the same
LSPs along the transit LSRs or do you need 3 separate
LSPs to do the job?

Thanks a lot!
