Subject: [rohc] Query regarding usage of states in SigComp

Hi All,

   Consider a scenario wherein an Endpoint1 asks the Endpoint2 to create 3 states.(s1, s2, s3)
one for storing the bytecode(s1), the second for storing the user specific dictionary(s2),
and the third for implementing dynamic/shared compression(s3).

All these states will be stored in a compartment.

Now when the Endpoint2 wishes to send a compresed message how can it make a decision
which of these states, s1, s2, and s3. should be used while compressing the application message ??

Actually the compressor is supposed to used only s2 and s3...s1 cannot be used for compression
because it actually contains the bytecode for future reference.

But the compressor cannot make an intelligent decision and identify which states to use and which not
to use just by examining the state identifiers ???

Any comments on this would be appreciated,

thanks
