Do we have DSCP marking (for prioritization of traffic) on the outer IP header (the one above GTP) and how do they look? What specification I can look into?

The technical specification TS 36.414 section 5.4 Diffserv code point marking says:

“IP Differentiated Services code point marking shall be supported. The mapping between traffic categories and Diffserv code points shall be configurable by O&M based on QoS Class Identifier (QCI) Characteristics and others E-UTRAN traffic parameters. Traffic categories are implementation-specific and may be determined from the application parameters”

which means, that there is DSCP marking for Outer IP Header (above GTP) let us know if you have any doubt further?

Why DSCP marking is required for IP packets at PGW ?

I read that when PGW's packet handler process maps an IP packet to a EPS bearer, it do DSCP marking.
And I also read DSCP marking is associated QCI of a bearer. How DSCP marking will help out to get maintained QoS of a bearer.
