Data The contents of the MSU to transmit; the first byte of data is typically the Service Information Octet (SIO), followed by the routing label and protocol dependent data. Layer 2 inserts the flag(s), sequence number, length indicator, and frame check sequence. The maximum length of the data field is 274 octets (including the SIO).
