Hi Price

    I read about "learning" EPIC but I don't understand how a decompressor will know what a "learning" compressor has "learned" so far? 
    I understand that both compressor and decompressor negotiate the profile and by that they know how other side will behave. But the compressor is "learning".. if I have understood it correct then "learning" would mean that the compressor will learn about new fields in the packets and add them to existing profile and other part is choosing compression scheme depending on probability of occurance of the field.. how does decompressor synchronize with that? How will this be handled in packet loss conditions?
