I can't find this information anywhere.
7693 = Label
6 = ???
254 = I presume is the TTL
What does the 6 represent??
it's the EXP value. you're right about the last
being the TTL.

Could it be the 3-bit EXP and 1-bit Bottom of Stack
Flag combined?
Hmm, why do you think so? Looking at the code, it only
prints the 3
exp.
bits.
Cisco must have combined RFC3032 [2.1. Encoding the Label
Stack] into
one value.
still not sure what you refer to, and why you think the debug
discussed
shows the 4-bit Exp+S value rather than the 3-bit Exp only?
If I may, MPLS Fundamentals refers to the stack on Fig 2-1 as
Label/EXP/BoS/TTL. It then breaks this on Example 3-8 with {label
EXP TTL}. All things held constant; label at 20, TTL at 8, then EXP
must be 3+1.

Reading too much into it. It's just not showing the stack bit. The
output is for information. You don't need to know the stack bit, its the
only label. And if there were more than one, then it would show all labels.
Right on, too much reading. I didn't take the text as it is. Oli was on
spot. Cheers!
