In that case, co-ordinate the QoS profile with your MPLS provider and
test both ends to make sure you receive what you send for on-net traffic.

Verifying that your MPLS provider is forwarding your traffic according
to the agreed-upon QoS profile is another thing.

As for the off-net traffic entering your network, well, you know about
that already...

Mark.
