Re: [rohc] Doubt regarding the Static chain termination for Profile 0x004

Hello Simon,
I have doubt related to static chain termination. The RFC 3843 ,sec 3.1
mentions that "The decompressor must store this indication in the context
for correct decompression of subsequent headers. Note that the IP version
field in decompressed headers must be restored to its original value"

May I request to elaborate more on this reference, i.e. how the subsequent
header version is restored to original value?

Thanks & Best Regards
Gurushant

Hi Ganesh

I think you got to things wrong.  First thing is that every change  is
made only in the Version field. This means only in the first 4 bits of
the first byte. There the first  bit is the MSB (Most significance bit).
Thus results in the following replacement:

1. For IPv4:

*
+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+
 Version        |  IHL
+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+
**
 **MSB     **LSB |
+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+
|     0x4         |     0x5         |
+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+
*
|     0100       |  0101           |
+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+
*

becomes
*
*
+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+
 Version        |  IHL
+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+
**
 **MSB     **LSB |
+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+
|     0xC         |     0x5         |
+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+
*
|     1100       |  0101           |
+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+
*
*
2. For IPv6:

*
+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+
 Version        |  Flowlabel
+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+
**
 **MSB     **LSB |
+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+
|     0x6        |     0xXX        |
+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+
*
|     0110       |    xxxx         |
+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+
*
*
*
becomes
*
*
+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+
 Version        |  Flowlabel
+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+
**
 **MSB     **LSB |
+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+
|     0xE         |     0xXX       |
+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+
*
|     1110       |     xxxx       |
+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+
*
*
Best regards
