RObust Header Compression (ROHC): A Profile for TCP/IP (ROHC-TCP)

Metadata

Publisher: IETF
Doc Type: Standard
Pages: 94
Abstract: This document specifies a ROHC (Robust Header Compression) profile for compression of TCP/IP packets. The profile, called ROHC-TCP, provides efficient and robust compression of TCP headers, including frequently used TCP options such as SACK (Selective Acknowledgments) and Timestamps. ROHC-TCP works well when used over links with significant error rates and long round-trip times. For many bandwidth-limited links where header compression is essential, such characteristics are common. [STANDARDS-TRACK]
