Abstract:
1. A method for transporting message packets across a multipoint-to-point network, the method comprising: compressing a message header of a message in a set of messages, the messages defined as packets, the compression operable for identifying deterministic fields recreatable in successive messages; determining a context ID indicative of the compressed message header; computing a originator ID, the originator ID indicative of an originator of the set of messages on a multipoint-to-point link, the originator ID being operable to distinguish decompression context for the set of messages originating from the originator from decompression context for messages originating from other originators on the multipoint-to-point link; appending the context ID and the originator ID to each of the messages in the set; sending a first message of the set, the first message having the originator ID, context ID and corresponding uncompressed header fields; and sending successive messages with the originator ID and the context ID, the originator ID and context ID collectively operable to indicate the originator of the message and the compression header context, sending the successive messages further comprising:
