ABSTRACT:
A packet switching communication system is improved by using a packet header structure which does not require a fixed format. The packet header comprises a chain of 2 byte command/data segments. Each command/data segment contains generic bits and a routing field. One of the generic bits (bit 1) allows the header to be extended with another command/data segment.
