[c-nsp] Mapping enterprise CoS to SP CoS

[Marcin Kurek]

Dear all,

Let's assume a scenario where there is a Service Provider running a 
converged MPLS network, supporting 8 class QoS model. Within this model 
there is a dedicated class for provider's network control traffic.
Now, we want to purchase a L2VPN circuit from this provider and run our 
own routing protocol on top of it, along with our regular enterprise 
traffic.
Service Provider has a hierarchical color-aware policing on ingress and 
non-conforming traffic within a class will be remarked to best effort.

What is the best practice for mapping enterprise network control traffic 
to Service Provider CoS, assuming they don't have a separate, dedicated 
queue for that purpose?


Many thanks,
Marcin
