What exactly do you mean by "MPLS QOS labels"?

The MPLS Protocol has a QOS feature were the MPLS frames are tagged with a particular QOS label/flag that is recognized by every router in the MPLS network.

This way you dont need to specify QOS settings in every router of the MPLS network for every customer ... just in the end points

MPLS header has EXP bit, which is used to carry CoS.

That says what the EXP does, but I can't see where to set it to begin with.

Nevermind.
if packet is supposed to be sent over label switched path (first label will get pushed on packet), EXP bits will be set to value in "priority", which in turn can be set up properly using firewall rules or other means (e.g. from DSCP field in IP header)
Now I just need to learn more about that.
