The trick isn't the classification part, but needing multiple hardware queues. If you have multiple hardware queues, it doesn't matter too much whether you use "virtual" things like MPLS, VLAN, DSCP, 802.1p, PVCs, etc. Most will work. If you don't have multiple hardware queues, then it also doesn't matter too much whether you use "virtual" things like MPLS, VLANs, DSCP, 802.1P, PVCs, etc. Most will not work. Providers use sacrifical physical interfaces, e.g. a T1, because some routers aren't very good at managing multiple queues on a single physical interface, and may not have multiple hardware queues on a single physical interface.
