Abstract
A method is shown for compression of packet header information of packets transmitted on a point to point link. First and second endpoints of the point to point link negotiate a profile for packet header information for packets transmitted from the first endpoint to the second endpoint on the point to point link. The profile includes a predetermined default value for a predetermined header field of the packet header information. A packet sent from the first endpoint to the second endpoint over the point to point link includes a profile identifier for the profile and excludes the predetermined header field. The second endpoint uses the profile identifier to access the profile. The second endpoint then uses the predetermined default value for the predetermined header field from the profile to decode the packet.
