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:
“Dog. A kind of additional or subsidiary Deity designed to catch the overflow and surplus of the world’s worship.”
—Ambrose Bierce (1842–1914)
“The triumphs of peace have been in some proximity to war. Whilst the hand was still familiar with the sword-hilt, whilst the habits of the camp were still visible in the port and complexion of the gentleman, his intellectual power culminated; the compression and tension of these stern conditions is a training for the finest and softest arts, and can rarely be compensated in tranquil times, except by some analogous vigor drawn from occupations as hardy as war.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
