Multi LayerHeader Compression main concepts
• avoids large and recursive headers transport: 12 bit label streams
• Compression gain : 4% up to 200% depending on traffic protocol
stack and frame lenghts
• CRC protected process
• Pure hardware compression : Ultra low latency (<5μs)
• Adaptive header compression (L2, L2.5, L3, L4)
– Regular stacks :
Ethernet, VLANs, IP, UDP, RTP

– Complex stacks and Tunneling:

Ethernet + MPLS + IP 4/6 + UDP + GTP + [IP + UDP + RTP]
Compressor Tasks
