Re: Clarification regarding the ESP SN Encoding

Hello Anil,

if I remember correct, RoHCv1 requires, that the link layer delivers
all packets in order (RoHCv2 not).

For p see 5.12.:

  The interpretation interval (value of p) for the ESP-based SN is as
  with ROHC RTP (profile 0x0001).

Therefore p is as 5.7.:

  p = 1                   if bits(SN) <= 4
  p = 2^(bits(SN)-5) - 1  if bits(SN) >  4

Regards, Klaus
