The IESG has approved the following document:
- 'Requirements for ROHC IP/TCP Header Compression '
<draft-ietf-rohc-tcp-requirements-08.txt> as an Informational RFC
This document is the product of the Robust Header Compression Working Group.
The IESG contact persons are Allison Mankin and Jon Peterson.
RFC Editor Note
OLD:
2.5. Intellectual Property Rights (IPR)
The ROHC WG must spend effort to achieve a high degree of confidence
<<< that there are no known IPR that covers a final compression solution
for TCP.
Justification: Currently there is no TCP header compression scheme
available that can efficiently compress the packet headers of modern
TCP, e.g. with SACK, ECN, etc. ROHC is expected to fill this gap by
providing a ROHC TCP scheme that is applicable in the wide area
Internet, not only over error-prone radio links. It must thus attempt
<<< to be as future-proof as possible, and only unencumbered solutions
<<< will be acceptable to the Internet at large.
