	Title		: Header Compression for IPv6

This document describes how to compress IP headers per-hop over
   point-to-point links.  The methods can be applied to IPv6 base and
   extension headers, IPv4 headers, TCP and UDP headers, and
   encapsulated IPv6 and IPv4 headers.

   Headers of typical UDP or TCP packets can be compressed down to 4-7
   octets including the 2 byte UDP or TCP checksum.  This largely
   removes the negative impact of large headers and allows efficient use
   of bandwidth on low- and medium-speed links.

NOTE:	The mail server at ds.internic.net can return the document in
	MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility.  To use this
	feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
	command.  To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
	a MIME-compliant mail reader.  Different MIME-compliant mail readers
	exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
	"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
	up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
	how to manipulate these messages.
		
		
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
