Modes of Operation
According to RFC 3095 the ROHC scheme has three modes of operation:
- the Unidirectional mode (U-mode),
- the Bidirectional Optimistic mode (O-mode),
- the Bidirectional Reliable mode (R-mode).
Both the compressor and the decompressor starts in U-mode. They may then operate a transition to O-mode if a usable return link is available and the decompressor sends to the compressor a positive acknowledgement with O-mode specified. The transition to R-mode is achieved the same way.

Famous quotes containing the words modes of, modes and/or operation:
“In the final analysis, “style” is art. And art is nothing more or less than various modes of stylized, dehumanized representation.”
—Susan Sontag (b. 1933)
“Without any extraordinary effort of genius, I have discovered that nature was the same three thousand years ago as at present; that men were but men then as well as now; that modes and customs vary often, but that human nature is always the same. And I can no more suppose, that men were better, braver, or wiser, fifteen hundred or three thousand years ago, than I can suppose that the animals or vegetables were better than they are now.”
—Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
“You may read any quantity of books, and you may almost as ignorant as you were at starting, if you don’t have, at the back of your minds, the change for words in definite images which can only be acquired through the operation of your observing faculties on the phenomena of nature.”
—Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)
