Abstract
Implementations of the present disclosure are directed to systems and methods for processing headers that support multiple protocols. A header of a packet includes a bridge type (BTYPE) field that indicates the protocol of the packet. A command field of the packet is interpreted differently based on the value of the BTYPE field. Among the benefits of implementations of the present disclosure is that a single network may be used to carry packets of different protocols without the overhead of encapsulation.
