29 * Compressed packet format:
31 * The first octet contains the packet type (top 3 bits), TCP
32 * 'push' bit, and flags that indicate which of the 4 TCP sequence
33 * numbers have changed (bottom 5 bits). The next octet is a
34 * conversation number that associates a saved IP/TCP header with
35 * the compressed packet. The next two octets are the TCP checksum
36 * from the original datagram. The next 0 to 15 octets are
37 * sequence number changes, one change per bit set in the header
38 * (there may be no changes and there are two special cases where
39 * the receiver implicitly knows what changed -- see below).
41 * There are 5 numbers which can change (they are always inserted
42 * in the following order): TCP urgent pointer, window,
43 * acknowlegement, sequence number and IP ID. (The urgent pointer
44 * is different from the others in that its value is sent, not the
45 * change in value.) Since typical use of SLIP links is biased
46 * toward small packets (see comments on MTU/MSS below), changes
47 * use a variable length coding with one octet for numbers in the
48 * range 1 - 255 and 3 octets (0, MSB, LSB) for numbers in the
49 * range 256 - 65535 or 0. (If the change in sequence number or
50 * ack is more than 65535, an uncompressed packet is sent.)
54 * Packet types (must not conflict with IP protocol version)
56 * The top nibble of the first octet is the packet type. There are
57 * three possible types: IP (not proto TCP or tcp with one of the
58 * control flags set); uncompressed TCP (a normal IP/TCP packet but
59 * with the 8-bit protocol field replaced by an 8-bit connection id --
60 * this type of packet syncs the sender & receiver); and compressed
61 * TCP (described above).
63 * LSB of 4-bit field is TCP "PUSH" bit (a worthless anachronism) and
64 * is logically part of the 4-bit "changes" field that follows. Top
65 * three bits are actual packet type. For backward compatibility
66 * and in the interest of conserving bits, numbers are chosen so the
67 * IP protocol version number (4) which normally appears in this nibble
