	 <t>VoIP typically uses the encapsulation voice/RTP/UDP/IP. When MPLS labels 
are added, this becomes voice/RTP/UDP/IP/MPLS-labels. For an MPLS VPN, 
the packet header is at least 48 bytes, while the voice payload is often 
no more than 30 bytes, for example. Header compression can significantly 
reduce the overhead through various compression mechanisms, such as 
enhanced compressed RTP (ECRTP). We consider using MPLS to route ECRTP 
compressed packets over an MPLS LSP without compression/decompression 
cycles at each router. Such an ECRTP over MPLS capability can increase 
the bandwidth efficiency as well as processing scalability of the 
maximum number of simultaneous compressed flows that use header 
compression at each router.  In this draft we propose to use RSVP-TE 
extensions to signal the header compression context and other control 
messages between the ingress and egress LSR.  We re-use the methods in 
ECRTP to determine the context.
