If you're in an MPLS environment, you should absolutely be making use of the
proper markings to stick your VOIP traffic in a dedicated strict priority
queue on the PE egress interface.  The remote ingress queuing stuff is
designe for things like branch offices and teleworkers connected via VPN or
some other case where you don't have vendor-provided QoS to manage the
inbound flows.
