MPLS Experimental Bits | ASR 903, 903, etc.

Does anyone know if the ASR 9XX series routers (902, 903, 920, etc.) support the use of MPLS experimental bits? 

 

We have run into issues with load balancing l2vpn over mpls and supposedly using the mpls experimental bits on other platforms works to resolve this issue as it can differentiate the traffic. 

 

I am referencing this documentation that mentions load balancing using Control Words, Flow Aware Transport, or Entropy Labels. Are any of these supported in the ASR 9XX platforms that you are aware of. I am having difficulty finding clear documentation/configuration guides on it.

I found this document from Cisco that goes over the process of making l2vpn based pseudowires. Previously I have created xconnects directly on the evc/EFP instead of using this method. I will give this a try and see if I have ability to implement a control word or any variance to create load balancing.
