Re: Query regarding RoHC TCP List Based Compression

Simon,

Section 6.3.1 is an overview of "the basic principles of list-based
compression". When paragraph/bullet 2) mention that the the list
changes, it is relative the contexts (of the compressor and
decompressor). The list is still in change until confidence is obtained.

So my interpretation is that the part in section 6.3.2 about the
compressor building confidence falls under paragraph 4) of section
6.3.1, not 2).


Best Regards,

Carl Knutsson
