Abstract:

Increased heterogenity in link layer technologies used in the Internet have created the need for header compression over problematic point-to-point links, thus minimizing the per-packet overhead in a transparent way.

Over the years, several different types of header compression algorithms have been designed. In this seminar, you will be introduced to the most common algorithms used in the Internet today, namely VJ header compression, IP Header compression and Compressed RTP. You will also get an introduction to the Robust Header Compression (ROHC) class of algorithms, platform- independent implementation issues and current research within the area.
