If its a number then what is the scope of that number? If it is a global
scope (what i really mean is not really GLOBAL, but within the MPLS
domain) then how do u ensure that the same number is consistent within the
mpls domain. And if the number is not global, then how do u ensure the
consistency of qos treatments packets will receive when they are actually
forwarded?
