CHAPTER 2
CEM over MPLS QoS
The QoS EXP matching feature allows you to classify and mark network traffic by modifying the Multiprotocol
Label Switching (MPLS) experimental bits (EXP) field in IP packets. This module contains conceptual
information and the configuration tasks for classifying and marking network traffic using the MPLS EXP
field.

Classifying and Marking MPLS EXP Overview
The QoS EXP matching feature allows you to organize network traffic by setting values for the MPLS EXP
field in MPLS packets. By choosing different values for the MPLS EXP field, you can mark packets so that
packets have the priority that they require during periods of congestion. Setting the MPLS EXP value allows
you to:
