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.
