Hello, I've posted a new draft for the Scale-Up Network Header. This defines a compressed network header for use in high performance AI networks. Any comments are appreciated!

Name: draft-herbert-sunh Revision: 00 Title: Scale-Up Network Header (SUNH) Date: 2025-11-04 Group: Individual Submission Pages: 13 URL: https://www.ietf.org/archive/id/draft-herbert-sunh-00.txt Status: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-herbert-sunh/ HTMLized: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-herbert-sunh Abstract: This document specifies a network header that is a type of compressed IPv4 or IPv6 header. The use case is high performance networking in limited domains, in particular in scale-up networks for AI where even modest packet overhead packet may be materially detrimental to overall performance. The SUNH network header provides three primary benefits: 1) It reduces the amount of on-the-wire protocol overhead, 2) It simplifies route lookup to be more efficient with lower latency, 3) It retains the properties and benefits of a Network Layer header including compatibility with deployed Ethernet switches and NICs.
