The PE router must be configured to enforce a Quality-of-Service (QoS) policy in accordance with the QoS DODIN Technical Profile.
An XCCDF Rule
Description
Different applications have unique requirements and toleration levels for delay, jitter, bandwidth, packet loss, and availability. To manage the multitude of applications and services, a network requires a QoS framework to differentiate traffic and provide a method to manage network congestion. The Differentiated Services Model (DiffServ) is based on per-hop behavior by categorizing traffic into different classes and enabling each node to enforce a forwarding treatment to each packet as dictated by a policy. Packet markings such as IP Precedence and its successor, Differentiated Services Code Points (DSCP), were defined along with specific per-hop behaviors for key traffic types to enable a scalable QoS solution. DiffServ QoS categorizes network traffic, prioritizes it according to its relative importance, and provides priority treatment based on the classification. It is imperative that end-to-end QoS is implemented within the IP core network to provide preferred treatment for mission-critical applications.

A Manual Procedure
Step 1: Configure the Arista router class-maps to match on DSCP Quality of Service values to identify four traffic-class into Class 0 (0-7, 16-38, 40-44, 46-48, 50-63) Class 1 (11) Class 2 (39) Class 3 (15, 49).
router(config)#qos map
qos map dscp 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 40 41 42 43 44 46 47 48 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 60 61 62 63 to traffic-class 0
qos map dscp 11 to traffic-class 1
qos map dscp 39 to traffic-class 2
