Signaling Compression - Extended Operations

Overview

RFC 3321, “Signaling Compression - Extended Operations”, is a Proposed Standard document published in January 2003 by H. Hannu, J. Christoffersson, S. Forsgren, K.-C. Leung, Z. Liu, R. Price. It has since been updated by RFC 4896. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.

Abstract

This document describes how to implement certain mechanisms in SigComp (Signaling Compression), RFC XXX, which can significantly improve the compression efficiency compared to using simple per- message compression. SigComp uses a UDVM (Universal Decompressor Virtual Machine) for decompression, and the mechanisms described in this document are possible to implement using the UDVM instructions defined in RFC XXX.

Abstract as published in the RFC, via rfc-editor.org.

What “Proposed Standard” means
