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.
