Harin,

what kind of linecards are in use on the 7600s? Are you sure that your unicast
QoS is OK and you have only issues with the multicast QoS? When the multicast
traffic is encapsulated with the multipoint GRE header, it should copy the QoS
information of the original packet into the new header. I did not verify this
on 7600/SRC but with 6500/SXH2a. Just to make sure: You did consider that multicast
is forwarded as IP and not MPLS and your QoS settings are adjusted to this?

The cisco-nsp mailing list is also a good place to ask about such stuff....
