When the EXP value changes within the MPLS cloud, the top label is changed. When the entire labelstack is removed from the packet, than yes the EXP value is then copied back to the IP header.

If the top label is changed you might be lucky that your VPN label hasn't changed and the EXP value isn't changed :-)

Hi all,

one question about QoS:

Cisco IOS copies the three most significant bits fo the DSCP or IP precedence of the IP header to the EXP field at the edge of the network. The service provider set an MPLS packet QoS to a different value. What will happend when this packet leave the MPLS cloud? I wonder if the MPLS QoS value will copy again to the IP header.

Thanks in advance

Regards
