Identify the QoS capabilities of all the kit in the hops, identify any
pinch points, identify the traffic you would like to prioritise, by how
much and in which direction, identify which points will be using  L2, L3
and mpls exp as the classification, if you get it all on paper it might
start making more sense.  Also I believe mpls has different QoS operating
modes.
