A Negative Acknowledgement Mechanism for Signaling Compression

Overview

RFC 4077, “A Negative Acknowledgement Mechanism for Signaling Compression”, is a Proposed Standard document published in May 2005 by A.B. Roach. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.

Abstract

This document describes a mechanism that allows Signaling Compression (SigComp) implementations to report precise error information upon receipt of a message which cannot be decompressed. This negative feedback can be used by the recipient to make fine-grained adjustments to the compressed message before retransmitting it, allowing for rapid and efficient recovery from error situations.
