1. A method for header compression in packet-oriented networks, the network including at least one receiver and one transmitter between which information packets are exchanged with of MPLS headers, with the information packets tunneling a further protocol with a network header, with the MPLS header being calculated by bijective function from the network headers, which is configured to map an MPLS header uniquely to the second network header, comprising:

  • storing a mapping of the MPLS header to the network header, with a network header being calculated by a bijective function from the MPLS headers, removing from the information packet at least a portion of the network header of the second protocol and filling free space thus obtained with other information, and sending the information packet to the receiver; and

    uniquely assigning the network header to the information packet based on the basis of the stored mapping.
