Bug#756654: ITP: rohc -- RObust Header Compression (ROHC) library
Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
Owner: Simon Paillard <spaillard@debian.org>
* Package name : rohc
Version : 1.7.0
Upstream Author : Didier Barvaux <didier@rohc-lib.org>

Programming Lang: C
Description : RObust Header Compression (ROHC) library
RObust Header Compression (ROHC) is a standardized method defined by the IETF
in RFC3095 to compress the IP, UDP, RTP, and TCP headers of Internet packets.
This compression scheme differs from other compression schemes by the fact that
it performs well over links where the packet loss rate is high, such as
wireless links
The library is also provided with application like rohctunnel, which makes a
ROHC-over-UDP or ROHC-over-Ethernet tunnel.
The library is also used by packages not (yet?) in Debian:
* http://opensand.org/ A satellite telecommunication system emulation platform
* Patched versions of openvpn
A first version of packaging is available at
http://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/users/spaillard/rohc.git/
https://people.debian.org/~spaillard/rohc/1.7.0/
I don't need a sponsor, but I'd welcome reviewers as it's my first library package.
