Command Modes Interface configuration
Command History
Usage Guidelines You can compress IP/User Datagram Protocol (UDP)/RTP headers to reduce the size of your packets.
Compressing headers is especially useful for RTP because RTP payload size can be as small as 20 bytes,
and the uncompressed header is 40 bytes.
ietf-format Keyword
The ietf-format keyword indicates that the IETF format of header compression will be used. For HDLC
interfaces, the ietf-format keyword compresses only UDP packets. For PPP interfaces, when the
ietf-format keyword is specified, TCP header compression is also enabled. For this reason, the ip tcp
ietf-format Specifies the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) format of header
compression.
periodic-refresh (Optional) Indicates that the compressed IP header will be refreshed periodically.
