Abstract: Described herein are optimized packet headers for Ethernet IP networks and related methods and devices. An example packet header includes a field comprising a source identifier (SID), the SID comprising a shortened representation of a complete Internet Protocol (IP) address of a source network device, a field comprising a destination identifier (DID), the DID comprising a shortened representation of a complete IP address of a destination network device, and a field having a total number of bits that is less than 8 and comprising a shortened representation of a type of encapsulation protocol for the packet. The packet header excludes fields comprising the complete IP address and a media access controller (MAC) address of the source network device, fields comprising the complete IP address and the MAC address of the destination network device, a field comprising a header checksum, and a field comprising a total size of the packet.
