[c-nsp] CBWFQ/PQ Support on 6500/SUP720-3BXL

Hi Zahid,

I have tested the following with policy maps. The classification of
the packet is performed at the ingress, so if the packet enters router
as IP packet (Input Edge) then you must on egress interface match
according DSCP value, if the packet enters router as labeled packet
(LSRs in the Core of an MPLS) then you must on egress interface match
according MPLS EXP value.

When I (re)read some docs it seems that the following rules apply for your
scenario with wrr and might help.

PFC3BXL or PFC3B mode MPLS QoS maps the EXP value to the internal DSCP
using the EXP-to-DSCP global map

The PFC3BXL or PFC3B assigns the egress CoS based on the internal
DSCP-to-CoS global map. If the default internal DSCP-to-EXP and the
internal DSCP-to-CoS maps are consistent, then the egress CoS has the
same value as the imposed EXP.

Maybe someone else can clarify much better.

Regards,
David
