RFC 3242: RObust Header Compression (ROHC): A Link-Layer Assisted Profile for IP/UDP/RTP
This RFC has been replaced. Do not implement against it for new work — it was formally obsoleted by RFC 4362.
Current version: RFC 4362 — RObust Header Compression (ROHC): A Link-Layer Assisted Profile for IP/UDP/RTP
In plain English — editorial summary, not part of the RFC
This document defines a ROHC (Robust Header Compression) profile for compression of IP/UDP/RTP (Internet Protocol/User Datagram Protocol/Real-Time Transport Protocol) packets, utilizing functionality provided by the lower layers to increase compression efficiency by completely eliminating the header for most packets during optimal operation. The profile is built as an extension to the ROHC RTP profile. It defines additional mechanisms needed in ROHC, states requirements on the assisting layer to guarantee transparency, and specifies general logic for compression and decompression making use of this header-free packet.
