TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed an optical signaling header technique applicable to optical networks wherein packet routing information is embedded in the same channel or wavelength as the data payload so that both the header and data payload propagate through network elements with the same path and associated delays.

TL;DR: An approximate message authentication code (AMAC) as mentioned in this paper is a probabilistic checkum based on a shared key that provides absolute authentication of the origin of the message, yet provides an approximate integrity check for the content of message.
