30  * Compressed packet format:
31  *
32  * The first octet contains the packet type (top 3 bits), TCP
33  * 'push' bit, and flags that indicate which of the 4 TCP sequence
34  * numbers have changed (bottom 5 bits).  The next octet is a
35  * conversation number that associates a saved IP/TCP header with
36  * the compressed packet.  The next two octets are the TCP checksum
37  * from the original datagram.  The next 0 to 15 octets are
38  * sequence number changes, one change per bit set in the header
39  * (there may be no changes and there are two special cases where
40  * the receiver implicitly knows what changed -- see below).
41  *
42  * There are 5 numbers which can change (they are always inserted
43  * in the following order): TCP urgent pointer, window,
44  * acknowlegement, sequence number and IP ID.  (The urgent pointer
45  * is different from the others in that its value is sent, not the
46  * change in value.)  Since typical use of SLIP links is biased
47  * toward small packets (see comments on MTU/MSS below), changes
48  * use a variable length coding with one octet for numbers in the
49  * range 1 - 255 and 3 octets (0, MSB, LSB) for numbers in the
50  * range 256 - 65535 or 0.  (If the change in sequence number or
51  * ack is more than 65535, an uncompressed packet is sent.)
52  */

54 /*
55  * Packet types (must not conflict with IP protocol version)
56  *
57  * The top nibble of the first octet is the packet type.  There are
58  * three possible types: IP (not proto TCP or tcp with one of the
59  * control flags set); uncompressed TCP (a normal IP/TCP packet but
60  * with the 8-bit protocol field replaced by an 8-bit connection id --
61  * this type of packet syncs the sender & receiver); and compressed
62  * TCP (described above).
63  *
64  * LSB of 4-bit field is TCP "PUSH" bit (a worthless anachronism) and
65  * is logically part of the 4-bit "changes" field that follows.  Top
66  * three bits are actual packet type.  For backward compatibility
67  * and in the interest of conserving bits, numbers are chosen so the
68  * IP protocol version number (4) which normally appears in this nibble
69  * means "IP packet".
