The IESG has approved the following document: - 'The RObust Header Compression (ROHC) Framework ' <draft-ietf-rohc-rfc3095bis-framework-04.txt> as a Proposed Standard This document is the product of the Robust Header Compression Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Magnus Westerlund and Lars Eggert. A URL of this Internet-Draft is: http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-rohc-rfc3095bis-framework-04.txt Technical Summary RFC 3095 defines the ROHC framework along with an initial set of compression profiles. When RFC 3095 was written, separating the framework specification from the profiles was never considered, but the lack of a clear and referential separation has become an inconvenience when defining additional or updated profiles. To improve and simplify the specifications, the framework and the profiles parts have now been split into separate documents, where this document explicitly defines the ROHC framework, and thus replaces the framework specification of RFC 3095. The ROHC Framework, as defined by this document, is technically identical to the framework defined by RFC 3095, and there are therefore no compatibility concerns with these two specifications. Working Group Summary This document has been based on the technical framework parts of RFC 3095, but significantly restructured and improved, based on the experiences previously documented in the RFC 3095 corrections and clarifications document. The final document has been thoroughly reviewed by the WG, and there is WG consensus that the document should now be published to form a new referential base for upcoming ROHC profiles. Protocol Quality Magnus Westerlund reviewed the document for the IESG. The document was also reviewed by the committed WG document reviewers, Carl Knutsson and Biplab Sarkar, appointed by the ROHC WG chair. Note to RFC Editor OLD Abstract: The ROHC framework, along with a set of compression profiles, was initially defined in RFC 3095. To improve and simplify the ROHC specifications, this document explicitly defines the ROHC framework separately, and thus replaces the framework specification of RFC 3095. NEW Abstract: The ROHC framework, along with a set of compression profiles, was initially defined in RFC 3095. To improve and simplify the ROHC specifications, this document explicitly defines the ROHC framework and the profile for uncompressed separately. More specifically, the definition of the framework does not modify or update the definition of the framework specified by RFC3095. OLD Intro: RFC 3095 [3] defines the ROHC framework along with an initial set of compression profiles. To improve and simplify the specification, the framework and the profiles parts have been split into separate documents. This document explicitly defines the ROHC framework, and thus replaces the framework specification of RFC 3095. NEW Intro: RFC 3095 [3] defines the ROHC framework along with an initial set of compression profiles. To improve and simplify the specification, the framework and the profiles parts have been split into separate documents. This document explicitly defines the ROHC framework, but it does not modify or update the definition of the framework specified by RFC3095; both documents can be used independently of each other. This also implies that implementations based on either definition will be compatible and interoperable with each other. However it is the intent to let this specification replace RFC 3095 as the base specification for all profiles defined in the future. Section 3. OLD: 3. Background (Informative) NEW: 3.
