16. Acknowledgments

This protocol uses many ideas originated by Van Jacobson in the design of header compression for TCP/IP over slow-speed links [RFC- 1144]. It has benefited from discussions with Stephen Casner and Carsten Bormann.

We thank Craig Partridge for pointing out a problem that can occur when the TCP window scale option is used. A solution to this problem relying on the packet sequence numbers used for reordering is described in section 11.2.
