A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
This draft is a work item of the Robust Header Compression Working Group of the IETF.

	Title		: RObust Header Compression (ROHC): TCP/IP Profile (ROHC-TCP)
	Author(s)	: G. Pelletier, Q. Zhang, L. Jonsson, H. Liao, M. West

This document specifies a ROHC (Robust Header Compression) profile
for compression of TCP/IP packets. The profile, called ROHC-TCP, is a
robust header compression scheme for TCP/IP that provides improved
compression efficiency and enhanced capabilities for compression of
various header fields including TCP options.

Existing TCP/IP 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. In addition, existing
schemes [RFC-1144, RFC-2507] have not addressed how to compress TCP
options such as SACK (Selective Acknowledgements) [RFC-2018, RFC-2883] and Timestamps [RFC-1323].

Send a message to:

In the body type:
	"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-ietf-rohc-tcp-04.txt".
	
NOTE:	The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
	MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility.  To use this
	feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
	command.  To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
	a MIME-compliant mail reader.  Different MIME-compliant mail readers
	exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
	"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
	up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
	how to manipulate these messages.
		
		
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
