"Integration of Robust Header Compression (RoHC) over IPsec Security Associations", Emre Ertekin, 4-Jan-08. ( bytes)

IP Security (IPsec) provides various security services for IP traffic. However, the benefits of IPsec come at the cost of increased overhead. This document outlines a framework for integrating Robust Header Compression (RoHC) over IPsec (RoHCoIPsec). By compressing the inner headers of IP packets, RoHCoIPsec proposes to reduce the amount of overhead associated with the transmission of traffic over IPsec Security Associations (SAs).

"IKEv2 Extensions to Support Robust Header Compression over IPsec (RoHCoIPsec)", Rohan Jasani, 4-Jan-08. ( bytes)

When using Robust Header Compression (RoHC [ROHC]) in conjunction with IPsec [IPSEC] (i.e. [RoHCOIPSEC]) a mechanism is needed to negotiate RoHC configuration parameters between end-points prior to operation. Internet Key Exchange (IKE) is a mechanism which can be leveraged to handle these negotiations. This document specifies extensions to Internet Key Exchange (IKEv2 [IKEV2]) that will allow RoHC and its associated configuration parameters to be negotiated for IPsec security associations (SAs).

"IPsec Extensions to Support Robust Header Compression over IPsec (RoHCoIPsec)", Emre Ertekin, 4-Jan-08. ( bytes)

Integrating RoHC with IPsec (RoHCoIPsec) offers the combined benefits of IP security services and efficient bandwidth utilization. Before this can be realized, however, several extensions to the Security Policy Database (SPD), the Security Association Database (SAD), and the IPsec process are required. This document describes the IPsec extensions required to support RoHCoIPsec.
