Zero-byte Support for Bidirectional Reliable Mode in Extended Link-Layer Assisted RObust Header Compression Profile
RFC 3408, “Zero-byte Support for Bidirectional Reliable Mode in Extended Link-Layer Assisted RObust Header Compression Profile”, is a Proposed Standard document published in December 2002 by Z. Liu, K. Le. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document defines an additional mode of the link-layer assisted RObust Header Compression (ROHC) profile, also known as the zero-byte profile, beyond the two defined in RFC 3242. Zero-byte header compression exists in order to prevent the single-octet ROHC header from pushing a packet voice stream into the next higher fixed packet size for the radio. It is usable in certain widely deployed older air interfaces. This document adds the zero-byte operation for ROHC Bidirectional Reliable mode (R-mode) to the ones specified for Unidirectional (U-mode) and Bidirectional Optimistic (O-mode) modes of header compression in RFC 3242.

What “Proposed Standard” means
An entry-level standards-track specification: stable, peer-reviewed and a solid basis for implementation, though it may still evolve before becoming an Internet Standard.
