This document specifies a highly robust and efficient header compression scheme for RTP/UDP/IP (Real-Time Transport Protocol, User Datagram Protocol, Internet Protocol), UDP/IP, and ESP/IP (Encapsulating Security Payload) headers.
Existing header compression schemes do not work well when used over links with significant error rates and long round-trip times. For many bandwidth limited links where header compression is essential, such characteristics are common. This is done in a framework designed to be extensible. For example, a scheme for compressing TCP/IP headers will be simple to add, and is in development. Headers specific to Mobile IPv4 are not subject to special treatment, but are expected to be compressed sufficiently well by the provided methods for compression of sequences of extension headers and tunneling headers. For the most part, the same will apply to work in progress on Mobile IPv6, but future work might be required to handle some extension headers, when a standards track Mobile IPv6 has been completed.
