Bob, Header compression over MPLS is being worked in the AVT working group. The requirements are given in RFC 4247 http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc4247.txt?number=4247. The protocol extensions work is in progress, the latest draft is at http://ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-avt-hc-over-mpls-protocol-02. txt. Please let us know if you have any comments or questions (on the AVT list). Thanks, Jerry -----Original Message----- From: mpls-bounces@lists.ietf.org [mailto:mpls-bounces@lists.ietf.org] On Behalf Of Bob Anders Sent: Tuesday, February 07, 2006 11:52 PM To: mpls@ietf.org Subject: [mpls] MPLS Header Compression 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...
