Dear Group,

I came across the problem when the header, due to its arbitrary
length, can exceed the MTU of the whole packet and was looking into
MPLS header compression schemes.

Dealing for not too long with MPLS, I have seen from the mailing list
archive that there were some attempts to solve this problem, with
discussions around 2000 (draft-berger-mpls-hdr-comp-00.txt,
draft-swallow-mpls-simple-hdr-compress-00.txt) and 2003. But I
couldn't find that one of these drafts made it to a RFC document.

Could someone help me with what the current status/consensus regarding
header compression in the MPLS community is? How is it solved or
implemented (if any)?
You don't have to tell stories, any RFC document, paper or link is fine...

Thanks,
Bob
