Hi ,
  Ignore my previous mail.Please go through the below explanation
regarding ur query:

 -Implicit null lable-lable 3:By default LDP advertises lable 3 (i.e
implicit null lable).This causes the previous router to do PHP.In some
situatios like MPLS QoS (where QoS in IP HDR is different than the one
in EXP field)-it's a problem .

          To overcome that we have explicit null lable (i.e lable 0)- we
can configure this with global comand-"mpls ldp explicit-null"
command.With this lable 0 is inserted by the previous router -where ur
exp bits are carried and egress router won't do lable lookup because it
recognises the explicit null lable.
     Please let me know if you have any queries.
                      

Thanks & Regards,
Venkat.

Forgive me, but I can't help myself -- everytime I hear the term
Penultimate Hop Popping, it reminds me of a mutant popcorn.
