MPLS Uniform Mode
In uniform mode (shown in
when traversing the MPLS network. If the DiffServ marking of the packet is modified within the MPLS
network, the updates information is the one considered meaningful at the egress of the LSP. Any changes
to the packet marking within the MPLS network are permanent and get propagated when the packet
leaves the MPLS network.

MPLS Pipe Mode
In pipe mode (shown in
network. First, the marking used by intermediate nodes along the LSP span including the egress LSR.
Second, the original marking carried by the packet before entering the MPLS network that will continue
to be used once the packet leaves the MPLS network. Any changes to the packet marking within the
MPLS network are not permanent and do not get propagated when the packet leaves the MPLS network.
