Ericsson MINI-LINK 6351 - Radio Link Compatibility

PRELIMINARY
Radio Link Functions
Multi-Layer Header Compression
To further increase the frame rate over the radio link, Multi-Layer Header
Compression (MLHC) is used on the Ethernet frame. Fields in the header are
converted to a hash number, potentially resulting in a significant reduction in
the size of the frames sent over the radio link.
The MLHC algorithm inspects the header for Ethernet, IPv4, IPv6, UDP, MPLS
(up to three MPLS labels) and MPLS pseudowire information. See Table 1 for
examples of traffic throughput gain (in percent) for different frame types and
frame sizes when using MLHC:
