<b>Compression schemes</b><br>
|
||||
The #SICSLOWPAN_CONF_COMPRESSION compilation option defines the
|
||||
compression scheme supported. We support HC1, HC06, and IPv6 compression.
|
||||
HC1 and IPv6 compression are defined in RFC4944, HC06 in
|
||||
draft-hui-6lowpan-hc-06. What we call IPv6 compression means sending packets
|
||||
compression scheme supported. We support IPHC, and IPv6 compression.
|
||||
IPv6 compression are defined in RFC4944, IPHC in RFC6282.
|
||||
What we call IPv6 compression means sending packets
|
||||
with no compression, and adding the IPv6 dispatch before the IPv6 header.<br>
|
||||
If at compile time IPv6 "compression" is chosen, packets sent will never
|
||||
be compressed, and compressed packets will not be processed at reception.<br>
|
||||
If at compile time either HC1 or HC06 are chosen, we will try to compress
|
||||
|
||||
If at compile time IPHC is chosen, we will try to compress
|
||||
all fields at sending, and will accept packets compressed with the
|
||||
chosen scheme, as well as uncompressed packets.<br>
|
||||
Note that HC1 and HC06 supports are mutually exclusive. HC06 should soon
|
||||
deprecate HC1.

When a packet is received, the input function is called. Fragmentation

issues are handled, then we check the dispatch byte: if it is IPv6, we

is called.<br>
|
||||
treat the packet inline. If it is IPHC, the decompression function
|
||||
(uncompress_hdr_iphc) is called.<br>
|
||||
When a packet needs to be sent, we try to compress it. If only the IPv6
|
||||
compression support is enabled, we just add the IPv6 dispatch before the
|
||||
802.15.4 payload. If HC1 or HC06 support is enabled, we call the
|
||||
corresponding compression function (#compress_hdr_hc1 or #compress_hdr_hc06)
|
||||
802.15.4 payload. If IPHC support is enabled, we call the
|
||||
corresponding compression function (compress_hdr_iphc)
|
||||
to compress the packet as much as possible.
|
||||
|
||||
<b>HC1 comments</b><br>
|
||||
In HC1, if the IPv6 flow label is not compressed, we would need to copy
|
||||
the fields after the flow label starting in the middle of a byte (the
|
||||
flow label is 20 bits long). To avoid this, we compress the packets only
|
||||
if all fields can be compressed. If we cannot, we use the IPv6 dispatch
|
||||
and send all headers fields inline. This behavior is the one defined in
|
||||
draft-hui-6lowpan-interop-00.<br>
|
||||
In the same way, if the packet is an UDP packet, we compress the UDP
|
||||
header only if all fields can be compressed.<br>
|
||||
Note that HC1 can only compress unicast link local addresses. For this
|
||||
reason, we recommend using HC01.
|
||||
|
||||
<b>HC01 comments</b><br>
|
||||
HC01 uses address contexts to enable compression of global unicast
|
||||
<b>IPHC comments</b><br>
|
||||
IPHC uses address contexts to enable compression of global unicast
|
||||
addresses. All nodes must share context (namely the global prefixes in
|
||||
use) to compress and uncompress such addresses successfully. The context
|
||||
number is defined by 2 bits. Context 00 is reserved for the link local
|
||||
number is defined by 4 bits. Context 00 is reserved for the link local
|
||||
context. Other contexts have to be distributed within the LoWPAN
|
||||
dynamically, by means of ND extensions yet to be defined.<br>

Until then, if you want to test global address compression, you need
|
||||
to configure the global contexts manually.
