This document specifies a ROHC (Robust Header Compression) profile
for compression of TCP/IP packets. The profile, called ROHC-TCP,
provides efficient and robust compression of TCP headers, including
frequently used TCP options such as SACK (Selective Acknowledgments)
and Timestamps.
ROHC-TCP works 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. [STANDARDS TRACK]
This document is a product of the Robust Header Compression
Working Group of the IETF.
This is now a Proposed Standard Protocol.

protocol for the Internet community,and requests discussion and suggestions
