Routing packets that employ RoHC

 

Hello,

I have a fairly basic question with respect to RoHC. It appears that packets with compressed RTP/UDP/IP headers (chosen as an example profile) do not contain references to source/destination IP addresses.

How then will such a packet be routed ?

Does decompression/compression have to take place at every hop so that a routing decision can be made ? If yes, are there any solutions that support end-end header compression, i.e header compression/decompression takes place only at end points corresponding to source/destination IP addresses in original uncompressed IP header.

Thank you in advance for your help.

Regards,
Vikram.
