<b>Compression schemes</b><br>
The #SICSLOWPAN_CONF_COMPRESSION compilation option defines the

draft-hui-6lowpan-hc-06. What we call IPv6 compression means sending packets

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 IPHC is chosen, we will try to compress

deprecate HC1.

<b>Compression related functions</b><br>
When a packet is received, the #input function is called. Fragmentation
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
treat the packet inline. If it is HC1 or HC06, the corresponding
decompression function (#uncompress_hdr_hc1 or #uncompress_hdr_hc06)
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

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