Seaching[edit]

A search for "Robust Header Compression" does not automatically redirect to the ROHC page. It seems to me that it should. - Philip 24.139.16.154 22:23, 28 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Fixed by now. 192.114.175.2 (talk) 05:52, 10 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I've renamed the article to avoid unnecessary acronyms in titles. ROHC now redirects here. --Kvng (talk) 16:58, 21 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

what to[edit]

I was somewhat unclear about something (which is actually common to all packet compression techniques) and I thought it might worth be edited into the article. It has to do that the compressed header is useless for routing/forwarding etc. So when you take an FTP/TCP/IP packet and ROHC it, you still need a MAC header to carry the ROHC'ed packet. In no way can a packet which underwent ROHC be routed by a L3 router. 192.114.175.2 (talk) 06:23, 14 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Patents[edit]

At first glance, it seems that ROHC is a patent minefield. Am I wrong? If this impression is correct, it makes sense to list the key patents and licensing terms in a separate section. Dimawik (talk) 06:58, 27 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, you are wrong. There are no ROHC patents. Read the RFC wiki. Unsuspected (talk) 20:28, 5 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Would you mind pointing me to the URL? Dimawik (talk) 04:58, 6 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
