Integration of Robust Header Compression over IPsec Security Associations
RFC 5856, “Integration of Robust Header Compression over IPsec Security Associations”, is an Informational document published in May 2010 by E. Ertekin, R. Jasani, C. Christou, C. Bormann. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
IP Security (IPsec) provides various security services for IP traffic. However, the benefits of IPsec come at the cost of increased overhead. This document outlines a framework for integrating Robust Header Compression (ROHC) over IPsec (ROHCoIPsec). By compressing the inner headers of IP packets, ROHCoIPsec proposes to reduce the amount of overhead associated with the transmission of traffic over IPsec Security Associations (SAs). This document is not an Internet Standards Track specification; it is published for informational purposes.
