Daniel,
tis URL is good as well as this one:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps6635/products_white_paper09186a0080189048.shtml
or this one:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/ios/12_2t/12_2t2/feature/guide/ftqosvpn.html#wp1020819

yet they are a bit unclear education-wise, one has to know 50% of the
answer, per se, to interpret them right. :-)

just IMO,
A.
