IPsec Extensions to Support Robust Header Compression over IPsec
RFC 5858, “IPsec Extensions to Support Robust Header Compression over IPsec”, is a Proposed Standard document published in May 2010 by E. Ertekin, C. Christou, C. Bormann. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
Integrating Robust Header Compression (ROHC) with IPsec (ROHCoIPsec) offers the combined benefits of IP security services and efficient bandwidth utilization. However, in order to integrate ROHC with IPsec, extensions to the Security Policy Database (SPD) and Security Association Database (SAD) are required. This document describes the IPsec extensions required to support ROHCoIPsec. [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.
