Re: Clarification regarding the ESP SN Encoding

Dear Klaus,

Thanks for your response.
Please clarify me whether my understanding is right or wrong.

As per the RFC 3095, ROHCv1 won't support reordering between compressor
and decompressor. Right?
But, the compressor can receive packets in out-of-order from the upper
layers. Right?

As per the RFC 5225, ROHCv2 supports the reordering between the compressor
and decompressor. This is one of the advantage for ROHCv2.

Anil Kumar Maguluri

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
