Abstract

Protocols such as the real-time transport protocol (RTP), are used to provide suitable voice/video communication channels over the Internet. RTP transports real-time media data along with synchronization information over a datagram protocol such as the user datagram protocol (UDP). The Casner-Jacobson (see Internet-Draft, 1997) RTP/UDP/IP header compression algorithm can significantly reduce the overhead and increase the throughput of a connection. We evaluate the behavior of header compression in noisy links. It is shown that error indication and error correction can improve the resilience of header compression over noisy links
