Title : Requirements for Header Compression over MPLS
Author(s) : J. Ash, et al.
Filename : draft-ietf-avt-hc-mpls-reqs-00.txt
Pages : 8

VoIP typically uses the encapsulation voice/RTP/UDP/IP. When MPLS
labels are added, this becomes voice/RTP/UDP/IP/MPLS-labels, where, for
example, the packet header is at least 48 bytes, while the voice payload
is often no more than 30 bytes. Header compression can significantly
reduce the overhead through various compression mechanisms, such as
enhanced compressed RTP (ECRTP) and robust header compression (ROHC). We
consider using MPLS to route compressed packets over an MPLS LSP without
compression/decompression cycles at each router. This approach can
increase the bandwidth efficiency as well as processing scalability of
the maximum number of simultaneous flows that use header compression at
each router. In the draft we give a problem statement, goals and
requirements, and an example scenario.

In the body type:
"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-ietf-avt-hc-mpls-reqs-00.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.
