Abstract:
   This document describes a header compression scheme and fragmentation
   functionality for IPv6/UDP protocols.  These techniques are
   especially tailored for LPWAN (Low Power Wide Area Network) networks
   and could be extended to other protocol stacks.

   The Static Context Header Compression (SCHC) offers a great level of
   flexibility when processing the header fields.  Static context means
   that information stored in the context which, describes field values,
   does not change during the packet transmission, avoiding complex
   resynchronization mechanisms, incompatible with LPWAN
   characteristics.  In most of the cases, IPv6/UDP headers are reduced
   to a small identifier.

   This document describes the generic compression/decompression process
   and applies it to IPv6/UDP headers.  Similar mechanisms for other
   protocols such as CoAP will be described in a separate document.
   Moreover, this document specifies fragmentation and reassembly
   mechanims for SCHC compressed packets exceeding the L2 pdu size and
   for the case where the SCHC compression is not possible then the
   IPv6/UDP packet is sent.
