RObust Header Compression : Context Replication for ROHC Profiles

Overview

RFC 4164, “RObust Header Compression : Context Replication for ROHC Profiles”, is a Proposed Standard document published in September 2005 by G. Pelletier. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.

Abstract

This document defines context replication, a complement to the context initialization procedure found in Robust Header Compression (ROHC), as specified in RFC 3095. Profiles defining support for context replication may use the mechanism described herein to establish a new context based on another already existing context. Context replication is introduced to reduce the overhead of the context establishment procedure. It may be especially useful for the compression of multiple short-lived flows that may be occurring simultaneously or near-simultaneously, such as short-lived TCP flows. [STANDARDS-TRACK]

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