Abstract

   This document aims to clarify terms and concepts presented in RFC
   3095.  RFC 3095 defines a Proposed Standard framework with profiles
   for RObust Header Compression (ROHC).  The standard introduces
   various concepts which might be difficult to understand and
   especially to relate correctly to the surrounding environments where
   header compression may be used.  This document aims at clarifying
   these aspects of ROHC, discussing terms such as ROHC instances, ROHC
   channels, ROHC feedback, and ROHC contexts, and how these terms
   relate to other terms, like network elements and IP interfaces,
   commonly used, for example, when addressing MIB issues.
