+Abstract
+
+ This document describes an option for negotiating the use of header
+ compression on IP datagrams transmitted over the Point-to-Point
+ Protocol (RFC 1661). It defines extensions to the PPP Control
+ Protocols for IPv4 and IPv6 (RFC 1332, RFC 2472). Header compression
+ may be applied to IPv4 and IPv6 datagrams in combination with TCP,
+ UDP and RTP transport protocols as specified in RFC 2507, RFC 2508
+ and RFC 3545.
+
+1. Introduction
+
+ The IP Header Compression (IPHC) defined in [RFC2507] may be used for
+ compression of both IPv4 and IPv6 datagrams or packets encapsulated
+ with multiple IP headers. IPHC is also capable of compressing both
+ TCP and UDP transport protocol headers. The IP/UDP/RTP header
+ compression defined in [RFC2508] and [RFC3545] fits within the
+ framework defined by IPHC so that it may also be applied to both IPv4
+ and IPv6 packets.

+
+RFC 3544 IP Header Compression over PPP July 2003
+
+
+ In order to establish compression of IP datagrams sent over a PPP
+ link each end of the link must agree on a set of configuration
+ parameters for the compression. The process of negotiating link
+ parameters for network layer protocols is handled in PPP by a family
+ of network control protocols (NCPs). Since there are separate NCPs
+ for IPv4 and IPv6, this document defines configuration options to be
+ used in both NCPs to negotiate parameters for the compression scheme.
+
+ This document obsoletes RFC 2509, adding two new suboptions to the IP
+ header compression configuration option. One suboption negotiates
+ usage of Enhanced RTP-Compression (specified in [RFC3545]), and the
+ other suboption negotiates header compression for only TCP or only
+ non-TCP packets.
+
+ IPHC relies on the link layer's ability to indicate the types of
+ datagrams carried in the link layer frames. In this document nine
+ new types for the PPP Data Link Layer Protocol Field are defined
+ along with their meaning.
+
+ In general, header compression schemes that use delta encoding of
+ compressed packets require that the lower layer does not reorder
+ packets between compressor and decompressor. IPHC uses delta
+ encoding of compressed packets for TCP and RTP. The IPHC
+ specification [RFC2507] includes methods that allow link layers that
+ may reorder packets to be used with IPHC. Since PPP does not reorder
+ packets these mechanisms are disabled by default. When using
+ reordering mechanisms such as multiclass multilink PPP [RFC2686],
+ care must be taken so that packets that share the same compression
+ context are not reordered.
+
+2. Configuration Option
+
+ This document specifies a new compression protocol value for the IPCP
+ IP-Compression-Protocol option as specified in [RFC1332]. The new
+ value and the associated option format are described in section 2.1.
+
+ The option format is structured to allow future extensions to the
+ IPHC scheme.
+
+ NOTE: The specification of link and network layer parameter
+ negotiation for PPP [RFC1661], [RFC1331], [RFC1332] does not
+ prohibit multiple instances of one configuration option but states
+ that the specification of a configuration option must explicitly
+ allow multiple instances. [RFC3241] updates RFC 1332 by
+ explicitly allowing the sending of multiple instances of the IP-
+ Compression-Protocol configuration option, each with a different
+ value for IP-Compression-Protocol. Each type of compression
+ protocol may independently establish its own parameters.
+
+
+
+Koren, et al. Standards Track [Page 2]
+
+RFC 3544 IP Header Compression over PPP July 2003
+
+
+ NOTE: [RFC1332] is not explicit about whether the option
+ negotiates the capabilities of the receiver or of the sender. In
+ keeping with current practice, we assume that the option describes
+ the capabilities of the decompressor (receiving side) of the peer
+ that sends the Config-Req.
+
+2.1. Configuration Option Format
+
+ Both the network control protocol for IPv4, IPCP [RFC1332] and the
+ IPv6 NCP, IPV6CP [RFC2472] may be used to negotiate IP Header
+ Compression parameters for their respective protocols. The format of
+ the configuration option is the same for both IPCP and IPV6CP.
+
+ Description
+
+ This NCP configuration option is used to negotiate parameters for
+ IP Header Compression. Successful negotiation of parameters
+ enables the use of Protocol Identifiers FULL_HEADER,
+ COMPRESSED_TCP, COMPRESSED_TCP_NODELTA, COMPRESSED_NON_TCP and
+ CONTEXT_STATE as specified in [RFC2507]. The option format is
+ summarized below. The fields are transmitted from left to right.

+
+
+ TCP_SPACE
+ The TCP_SPACE field is two octets and indicates the maximum value
+ of a context identifier in the space of context identifiers
+ allocated for TCP.
+
+ Suggested value: 15
+
+ TCP_SPACE must be at least 0 and at most 255 (the value 0 implies
+ having one context).
+
+ NON_TCP_SPACE
+ The NON_TCP_SPACE field is two octets and indicates the maximum
+ value of a context identifier in the space of context identifiers
+ allocated for non-TCP. These context identifiers are carried in
+ COMPRESSED_NON_TCP, COMPRESSED_UDP and COMPRESSED_RTP packet
+ headers.
+
+ Suggested value: 15
+
+ NON_TCP_SPACE must be at least 0 and at most 65535 (the value 0
+ implies having one context).
+
+ F_MAX_PERIOD
+ Maximum interval between full headers. No more than F_MAX_PERIOD
+ COMPRESSED_NON_TCP headers may be sent between FULL_HEADER
+ headers.
+
+ Suggested value: 256
+
+ A value of zero implies infinity, i.e. there is no limit to the
+ number of consecutive COMPRESSED_NON_TCP headers.
+
+ F_MAX_TIME
+ Maximum time interval between full headers. COMPRESSED_NON_TCP
+ headers may not be sent more than F_MAX_TIME seconds after sending
+ the last FULL_HEADER header.
+
+ Suggested value: 5 seconds
+
+ A value of zero implies infinity.
+
+ MAX_HEADER
+ The largest header size in octets that may be compressed.
+
+ Suggested value: 168 octets
+
+
+
+
+
+
+Koren, et al. Standards Track [Page 4]
+
+RFC 3544 IP Header Compression over PPP July 2003
+
+
+ The value of MAX_HEADER should be large enough so that at least
+ the outer network layer header can be compressed. To increase
+ compression efficiency MAX_HEADER should be set to a value large
+ enough to cover common combinations of network and transport layer
+ headers.
+
+ suboptions
+ The suboptions field consists of zero or more suboptions. Each
+ suboption consists of a type field, a length field and zero or
+ more parameter octets, as defined by the suboption type. The
+ value of the length field indicates the length of the suboption in
+ its entirety, including the lengths of the type and length fields.

+2.2. RTP-Compression Suboption
+
+ The RTP-Compression suboption is included in the NCP IP-Compression-

+2.3. Enhanced RTP-Compression Suboption
+
+ To use the enhanced RTP header compression defined in [RFC3545], a
+ new sub-option 2 is added. Sub-option 2 is negotiated instead of,
+ not in addition to, sub-option 1.
+
+ Description
+
+ Enable use of Protocol Identifiers COMPRESSED_RTP and

+ of [RFC3545] compliant compression including the use of Protocol
+ Identifier COMPRESSED_UDP with additional flags and use of the C
+ flag with the FULL_HEADER Protocol Identifier to indicate use of
+ HDRCKSUM with COMPRESSED_RTP and COMPRESSED_UDP packets.

+
+2.4. Negotiating header compression for only TCP or only non-TCP
+ packets
+
+ In RFC 2509 it was not possible to negotiate only TCP header
+ compression or only non-TCP header compression because a value of 0
+ in the TCP_SPACE or the NON_TCP_SPACE fields actually means that 1
+ context is negotiated.
+
+ A new suboption 3 is added to allow specifying that the number of
+ contexts for TCP_SPACE or NON_TCP_SPACE is zero, disabling use of the
+ corresponding compression.

+
+ Parameter
+
+ The parameter is 1 byte with one of the following values:
+
+ 1 = the number of contexts for TCP_SPACE is 0
+ 2 = the number of contexts for NON_TCP_SPACE is 0
+
+ This suboption overrides the values that were previously assigned to
+ TCP_SPACE and NON_TCP_SPACE in the IP Header Compression option.
+
+ If suboption 3 is included multiple times with parameter 1 and 2,
+ compression is disabled for all packets.
+
+3. Multiple Network Control Protocols
+
+ The IPHC protocol is able to compress both IPv6 and IPv4 datagrams.
+ Both IPCP and IPV6CP are able to negotiate option parameter values
+ for IPHC. These values apply to the compression of packets where the
+ outer header is an IPv4 header and an IPv6 header, respectively.
+
+3.1. Sharing Context Identifier Space
+
+ For the compression and decompression of IPv4 and IPv6 datagram
+ headers the context identifier space is shared. While the parameter
+ values are independently negotiated, sharing the context identifier
+ spaces becomes more complex when the parameter values differ. Since
+ the compressed packets share context identifier space, the
+ compression engine must allocate context identifiers out of a common
+ pool; for compressed packets, the decompressor has to examine the
+ context state to determine what parameters to use for decompression.
+
+
+
+
+
+Koren, et al. Standards Track [Page 7]
+
+RFC 3544 IP Header Compression over PPP July 2003
+
+
+ Context identifier spaces are not shared between TCP and non-
+ TCP/UDP/RTP. Doing so would require additional mechanisms to ensure
+ that no error can occur when switching from using a context
+ identifier for TCP to non-TCP.
+
+4. Demultiplexing of Datagrams
+
+ The IPHC specification [RFC2507] defines four header formats for
+ different types of compressed headers. They are compressed TCP,
+ compressed TCP with no delta encoding, compressed non-TCP with 8 bit
+ CID and compressed non-TCP with 16 bit CID. The two non-TCP formats
+ may be distinguished by their contents so both may use the same
+ link-level identifier. A fifth header format, the full header is
+ distinct from a regular header in that it carries additional
+ information to establish shared context between the compressor and
+ decompressor.
+
+ The specification of IP/UDP/RTP Header Compression [RFC2508] defines
+ four additional formats of compressed headers. They are for
+ compressed UDP and compressed RTP (on top of UDP), both with either
+ 8- or 16-bit CIDs. In addition, there is an explicit error message
+ from the decompressor to the compressor.
+
+ The link layer must be able to indicate these header formats with
+ distinct values. Nine PPP Data Link Layer Protocol Field values are
+ specified below.
+
+ FULL_HEADER
+ The frame contains a full header as specified in [RFC2508] Section
+ 3.3.1. This is the same as the FULL_HEADER specified in [RFC2507]
+ Section 5.3.
+ Value: 0061 (hex)
+
+ COMPRESSED_TCP
+ The frame contains a datagram with a compressed header with the
+ format as specified in [RFC2507] Section 6a.
+ Value: 0063 (hex)
+
+ COMPRESSED_TCP_NODELTA
+ The frame contains a datagram with a compressed header with the
+ format as specified in [RFC2507] Section 6b.
+ Value: 2063 (hex)
+
+ COMPRESSED_NON_TCP
+ The frame contains a datagram with a compressed header with the
+ format as specified in either Section 6c or Section 6d of
+ [RFC2507].
+ Value: 0065 (hex)
+
+
+
+Koren, et al. Standards Track [Page 8]
+

+
+
+ COMPRESSED_RTP_8
+ The frame contains a datagram with a compressed header with the
+ format as specified in [RFC2508] Section 3.3.2, using 8-bit CIDs.
+ Value: 0069 (hex)
+
+ COMPRESSED_RTP_16
+ The frame contains a datagram with a compressed header with the
+ format as specified in [RFC2508] Section 3.3.2, using 16-bit CIDs.

+
+ COMPRESSED_UDP_8
+ The frame contains a datagram with a compressed header with the

+ [RFC3545] Section 2.1, using 8-bit CIDs.
+ Value: 0067 (hex)
+
+ COMPRESSED_UDP_16
+ The frame contains a datagram with a compressed header with the

+ Value: 2067 (hex)
+
+ CONTEXT_STATE
+ The frame is a link-level message sent from the decompressor to

+
+7. IANA Considerations
+
+ This document does not require any additional allocations from
+ existing namespaces in the IANA Point-to-Point Protocol Field
+ Assignments registry. However, there are three namespaces that were
+ defined by RFC 1332, RFC 2472, and RFC 2509 but not created in the
+ registry. Those three namespaces, described below, have been added
+ to the PPP registry. This document specifies two additional
+ allocations in the third one.
+
+ Section 3.2 of RFC 1332 specifies an IP-Compression-Protocol
+ Configuration Option for the PPP IP Control Protocol and defines one
+ value for the IP-Compression-Protocol type field in that option. An
+ IANA registry has been created to allocate additional values for that
+ type field. As stated in RFC 1332, the values for the IP-
+ Compression-Protocol type field are always the same as the (primary)
+ PPP DLL Protocol Number assigned to packets of the particular
+ compression protocol. Assignment of additional IP-Compression-
+ Protocol type values is through the IETF consensus procedure as
+ specified in [RFC2434].
+
+
+
+Koren, et al. Standards Track [Page 10]
+
+RFC 3544 IP Header Compression over PPP July 2003
+
+
+ Section 4.2 of RFC 2472 specifies an IPv6-Compression-Protocol
+ Configuration Option for the PPP IPv6 Control Protocol and defines
+ one value for the IPv6-Compression-Protocol type field in that
+ option. An IANA registry has been created to allocate additional
+ values for that type field. The IPv6-Compression-Protocol
+ Configuration Option has the same structure as the IP-Compression-
+ Protocol Configuration Option defined in RFC 1332, but the set of
+ values defined for the type field may be different. As stated in RFC
+ 2472, the values for the IPv6-Compression-Protocol type field are
+ always the same as the (primary) PPP DLL Protocol Number assigned to
+ packets of the particular compression protocol. Assignment of
+ additional IPv6-Compression-Protocol type values is through the IETF
+ consensus procedure as specified in [RFC2434].
+
+ Section 2.1 of RFC 2509 specifies an additional type value to be
+ registered for both the IP-Compression-Protocol Configuration Option
+ and the IPv6-Compression-Protocol Configuration Option to indicate
+ use of the "IP Header Compression" protocol. The specification of
+ that type value is repeated in Section 2.1 of this document which
+ obsoletes RFC 2509. In conjunction with the additional type value,
+ the format for the variable-length option is specified. The format
+ includes a suboption field that may contain one or more suboptions.
+ Each suboption begins with a suboption type value. An IANA registry
+ has been created for the suboption type values; and is titled, "IP
+ Header Compression Configuration Option Suboption Types".
+
+ Section 2.2 of RFC 2509 (and this document) defines one suboption
+ type. Sections 2.3 and 2.4 of this document define two additional
+ suboption types. It is expected that the number of additional
+ suboptions that will need to be defined is small. Therefore, anyone
+ wishing to define new suboptions is required to produce a revision of
+ this document to be vetted through the normal Internet Standards
+ process, as specified in [RFC2434].
+
+ RFC 2509 also defines nine PPP Data Link Layer Protocol Field values
+ which are already listed in the IANA registry of Point-to-Point
+ Protocol Field Assignments. Section 4 of this document repeats the
+ specification of those values without change.
+
+8. Security Considerations
+
+ Negotiation of the option defined here imposes no additional security
+ considerations beyond those that otherwise apply to PPP [RFC1661].
+
+ The use of header compression can, in rare cases, cause the
+ misdelivery of packets. If necessary, confidentiality of packet
+ contents should be assured by encryption.
+
+
+
+
+Koren, et al. Standards Track [Page 11]
+
+RFC 3544 IP Header Compression over PPP July 2003
+
+
+ Encryption applied at the IP layer (e.g., using IPSEC mechanisms)
+ precludes header compression of the encrypted headers, though
+ compression of the outer IP header and authentication/security
+ headers is still possible as described in [RFC2507]. For RTP
+ packets, full header compression is possible if the RTP payload is
+ encrypted by itself without encrypting the UDP or RTP headers, as
+ described in [RFC3550]. This method is appropriate when the UDP and
+ RTP header information need not be kept confidential.
+
