Best Effort Definition

Hello Group,

I think I know the answer to this one but I just want to get some more
opinions...

If I am performing QoS (whether it be CoS, IP Precedence, ToS Bits, or
DSCP), supposed I would like to "mark all traffic going from router A to
router B as IP Precedence 6 while other traffic receiving "best effort"
service"... obviously through some kind of classification, marking and
queuing I would make sure all traffic from router A to router B receives
the type of service it requires. However, what about all other traffic?
When requesting that other traffic gets "best effort", should one leave
the QoS markings as-is, or actually remark them back to all 0's?

Thanks in advance,
