[Bloat] cake + mpls?

[Bloat] cake + mpls?

[Dave Taht]

I noticed that sometime in the past 8 years the flow_dissector gained
support for dissecting mpls packets. I don't know how deep that rabbit
hole
goes.

Over here on this mikrotik thead
https://forum.mikrotik.com/viewtopic.php?p=904422#p904422 the question
was asked about cake, the exp bits, and mpls.

In looking over this, would we slam cake onto the vrf? or?

I have precisely zero experience with mpls. Is there an mpls expert in
the house?

If you just want to use cake with priority tins based on the MPLS "Traffic
Class" (TC) field (i.e. the renamed original "EXP" field, see RFC5462), I
think you can use a tc flower filter (
https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man8/tc-flower.8.html) matching on mpls_tc
values. See here for some examples:
