The method to forward a packet according to predefined protocol steps applies to a sensor personal area network that includes data communication sensor devices. The method includes assigning a predefined compression value to a compression field in the packet for indicating that a source network identifier of the originator of the packet is assumed to be equal to a destination network identifier of an intended recipient of the packet. Furthermore, the method includes assigning a predefined label switching value lsv to an addressing mode field DAM-F in the packet P for indicating that the above mentioned protocol steps further include a label switching principle that must be applied to forward the packet. Finally the method includes using a source network identifier field SNI-F of the packet for storing and retrieving the label value labfor application of the label switching principle based thereon.
