Micah Adler, Faith Fitch, Leslie Ann Goldberg and Mike Paterson, Tight Size Bounds for Packet Headers in Narrow Meshes (January 21, 2000).
Consider the problem of sending a single message from a sender to a receiver through an m x n mesh with asynchronous links that may stop working, and memoryless intermediate nodes. We prove that for m = O(1), it is necessary and sufficient to use packet headers that are Theta(log log n) bits long.
