The RObust Header Compression Framework
RFC 4995, “The RObust Header Compression Framework”, is a Proposed Standard document published in July 2007 by L-E. Jonsson, G. Pelletier, K. Sandlund. It has been obsoleted by RFC 5795 — refer to the newer document for the authoritative version. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
The Robust Header Compression (ROHC) protocol provides an efficient, flexible, and future-proof header compression concept. It is designed to operate efficiently and robustly over various link technologies with different characteristics.
The ROHC framework, along with a set of compression profiles, was initially defined in RFC 3095. To improve and simplify the ROHC specifications, this document explicitly defines the ROHC framework and the profile for uncompressed separately. More specifically, the definition of the framework does not modify or update the definition of the framework specified by RFC 3095. [STANDARDS-TRACK]
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.
