Btw. There are interesting hybrid optical/electrical research
network architectures, where optical packets arriving are
passed through an optical delay loop and the packet header
spoofed into the electrical side to make packet
processing decisions, which can then happen when the packet
header starts to appear at the end of the optical delay loop.

Given how these optical networks will be many orders of
magnitudes faster than the electrical processing
capability, we may end up with networks that just scream
to get larger packets to max out performance. 100 Kb minimum.
And then we can waste all the header space we ever wanted.
