Packet Format

Information in IEEE 1355 networks is transmitted in packets, a packet consists of a destination header, which is used to route the packet through a switching fabric, followed by the actual payload data, and an end-of-packet character. There are no restrictions on the packet size. Figure 1 illustrates the packet format.
