Configuring IPHC

Last Updated : May 02, 2023 |
Prolog information
IPHC applies to RTP, TCP, and UDP headers.
  1. Optionally, configure the following header compression parameters.
    ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
    If you do not configure these parameters, their default values are used.
    • ip rtp compression-connections
    • ip tcp compression-connections
    • ip rtp max-period
    • ip rtp max-time
    • ip rtp non-tcp-mode
      IETF mode is not compatible with non-IETF mode.
    • ip rtp port-range
    For example:
    Gxxx-001(config-if:Serial 4/1:1)# ip rtp compression-connections 48
    Done!
    Gxxx-001(config-if:Serial 4/1:1)# ip tcp compression-connections 48
    Done!
    Gxxx-001(config-if:Serial 4/1:1)# ip rtp max-period 512
    Done!
    Gxxx-001(config-if:Serial 4/1:1)# ip rtp max-time 20
    Done!
    Gxxx-001(config-if:Serial 4/1:1)# ip rtp non-tcp-mode ietf
    Done!
    Gxxx-001(config-if:Serial 4/1:1)# ip rtp port-range 40000 50000
    Done!
  2. Use the ip rtp header-compression command if you want to enable RTP, TCP, and UDP header compression on the current interface.
    ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
    The compression method employed is IPHC. Alternatively, you can use the following equivalent command: ip tcp header-compression iphc-format
    For example:
    Gxxx-001# interface dialer 1
    Gxxx-001(config-if:Dialer 1)# ip rtp header-compression
    Done
    ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
    Note:
    After header compression is enabled, any change to a header compression parameter is effective immediately.
  3. To disable IPHC on an interface, use the no form of the command you employed (in the interface context): no ip rtp header-compression or no ip tcp header-compression.
