-----------------
Use the mask keyword to assign multiple IP precedences or MPLS
experimental field values to the same rate-limit access list. To
determine the mask value, perform the following steps:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------
Step 1 Decide which precedences you want to assign to this rate-limit
access list.

Step 2 Convert the precedences or MPLS experimental field values into
an 8-bit numbers with each bit corresponding to one value. For example,
an MPLS experimental field value of 0 corresponds to 00000001, 1
corresponds to 00000010, 6 corresponds to 01000000, and 7 corresponds to
10000000.

Step 3 Add the 8-bit numbers for the selected MPLS experimental field
values. For example, the mask for MPLS experimental field values 1 and 6
is 01000010.

Step 4 The command expects hexadecimal format. Convert the binary mask
into the corresponding hexadecimal number. For example, 01000010 becomes
42. This value is used in the access-list rate-limit command. Any
packets that have an MPLS experimental field value of 1 or 6 will match
this access list.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------
A mask of FF matches any precedence, and 00 does not match any
precedence.
-------------------------------------
the answer is "access-list rate-limit 1 mask 62" in my book.
