Claim:
1. A non-transitory computer-readable medium having instructions stored thereon that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform tunneling for real time communication (RTC) between a source endpoint and a destination endpoint, the performing comprising: receiving, by a server, a request from a user equipment (UE) for enabling header compression of inner internet protocol (IP) and transport headers of media traffic encapsulated as a plurality of packets and traversing a tunnel, wherein the media traffic corresponds to the RTC between the source endpoint and the destination endpoint and wherein the request comprises identifying information of the source endpoint and the destination endpoint, and wherein the media traffic comprises a sequence of inner IP headers and transport headers; determining a mapping that maps a different index to each of the sequence of packet inner IP headers and transport headers; and sending a response to the UE that includes the determined mapping; wherein, after sending the response, each packet received from the UE has its inner IP header and transport header replaced by a corresponding index from the determined mapping.
