A new Request for Comments is now available in online RFC libraries. RFC 3320 Title: Signaling Compression (SigComp) Author(s): R. Price, C. Bormann, J. Christoffersson, H. Hannu, Z. Liu, J. Rosenberg Status: Standards Track Date: January 2003 Mailbox: richard.price@roke.co.uk, cabo@tzi.org, jan.christoffersson@epl.ericsson.se, hans.hannu@epl.ericsson.se zhigang.c.liu@nokia.com, jdrosen@dynamicsoft.com Pages: 62 Characters: 137035 Updates/Obsoletes/SeeAlso: None I-D Tag: draft-ietf-rohc-sigcomp-07.txt URL: ftp://ftp.rfc-editor.org/in-notes/rfc3320.txt This document defines Signaling Compression (SigComp), a solution for compressing messages generated by application protocols such as the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) (RFC 3261) and the Real Time Streaming Protocol (RTSP) (RFC 2326). The architecture and prerequisites of SigComp are outlined, along with the format of the SigComp message. Decompression functionality for SigComp is provided by a Universal Decompressor Virtual Machine (UDVM) optimized for the task of running decompression algorithms. The UDVM can be configured to understand the output of many well-known compressors such as DEFLATE (RFC-1951). This document is a product of Robust Header Compression Working Group of the IETF. This is now a Proposed Standard Protocol. This document specifies an Internet standards track protocol for the Internet community, and requests discussion and suggestions for improvements. Please refer to the current edition of the "Internet Official Protocol Standards" (STD 1) for the standardization state and status of this protocol. Distribution of this memo is unlimited. This announcement is sent to the IETF list and the RFC-DIST list. Requests to be added to or deleted from the IETF distribution list should be sent to IETF-REQUEST@IETF.ORG. Requests to be added to or deleted from the RFC-DIST distribution list should be sent to RFC-DIST-REQUEST@RFC-EDITOR.ORG.
