Abstract:
1. A system for communicating with a second station via a communications channel established over a communications link, the system comprising: an application configured to generate data; a packetizer configured to receive the data from the application and to transform the data into data packets each formed in accordance with one of a plurality of pre-determined packet-based protocol formats; and a compressor configured to receive the data packets from the packetizer, to negotiate a plurality of stateless compression contexts with the second station prior to establishing the communications channel, wherein each of the plurality of stateless compression contexts is based upon commonalities in one of the packet-based protocol formats of the data packets including address information about the second station, and, after establishing the communications channel with the second station, to remove the commonalities from the data packets according to the compression contexts to thereby create compressed packets in link formats different from the pre-determined packet-based protocol formats, and to supply the compressed packets for transmission to the second station via the communications channel.
