Additional Compression Profiles
The RFC 3095 defines a generic compression mechanism. It may be extended by defining new compression profiles dedicated to specific protocol headers. New RFCs were published to compress new protocols:
- The RFC 3843 defines a compression profile for IP headers or IP tunnels,
- The RFC 4019 defines a compression profile for IP/UDP-Lite and IP/UDP-Lite/RTP headers,
- The RFC 6846 defines a compression profile for IP/TCP headers.

Famous quotes containing the words additional and/or compression:
“The world will never be long without some good reason to hate the unhappy; their real faults are immediately detected, and if those are not sufficient to sink them into infamy, an additional weight of calumny will be superadded.”
—Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)
“Do they [the publishers of Murphy] not understand that if the book is slightly obscure it is because it is a compression and that to compress it further can only make it more obscure?”
—Samuel Beckett (1906–1989)
