The IESG has received a request from an individual submitter to consider the following document: - 'RObust Header Compression (ROHC): A Profile for TCP/IP (ROHC-TCP)' <draft-sandlund-rfc4996bis-02.txt> as Proposed Standard The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits final comments on this action. Please send substantive comments to the ietf@ietf.org mailing lists by 2012-06-29. Exceptionally, comments may be sent to iesg@ietf.org instead. In either case, please retain the beginning of the Subject line to allow automated sorting. Abstract 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. This specification obsoletes [RFC4996]. It fixes a technical issue with the SACK compression and clarifies other compression methods used. The file can be obtained via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-sandlund-rfc4996bis/ IESG discussion can be tracked via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-sandlund-rfc4996bis/ballot/ No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D.
