RE: QoS for mVPN

Your multicast traffic is IP based on not MPLS based. So where normally an
outbound policy would look like ...

Match mpls exp 5

You also need to match your ip equivalent e.g. match ip dscp ef

Common mistake when it comes to multicast in MVPN. Just remember that you
can tear down an mpls neighbour which you know multicast traffic runs across
and it still works, whereas all ip non multicast traffic is blackholed.

Watchout on the GSR's and on some linecards as multicast is only ever put
into the default queue.
