Abstract
This document describes a compression method based on the LZS
compression algorithm. This document defines the application of the
LZS algorithm to the IP Payload Compression Protocol [IPCOMP].
[IPCOMP] defines a method for applying lossless compression to the
payloads of Internet Protocol datagrams.
