1. A method comprising:
determining, based at least in part on a maximum number of interfaces associated with a node in a network, a minimum number of bits to be used for short interface identifiers;
receiving telemetry data associated with sending a packet through a network, the telemetry data including at least:
a first short interface identifier associated with a first interface of a first node of the network that was used to send the packet to a second node, the first short interface identifier comprising the minimum number of bits; and
a second short interface identifier that is associated with a second interface of a second node of the network that was used to receive the packet from the first node, the second short interface identifier comprising the minimum number of bits;
determining, based at least in part on the telemetry data, a path through the network according to which the packet was sent, the path including at least the first node and the second node; and
determining whether an anomaly exists in the network based at least in part on the path.
