Didier,

I've re-read my question, it does look vague.
Nonetheless, you did manage to answer my question on UNCOMPRESSED profile.

Regards,
Yakir

    I'm not sure to fully understand you.
    
    ROHC does not really care about unicast or broadcast.
    
    The Uncompressed profile may be enabled or disabled independently of
    the other profiles.
    
    The Uncompressed profile does not mean that the input network packet is
    not changed into a ROHC packet. The Uncompressed profile generates
    ROHC packets. Those ROHC packets are able to encapsulate all protocol
    headers, including non-IP packets (such as ARP) or even malformed
    packets. The compression efficiency is as best zero (or worse by 1 or 2
    bytes).
    
    Regards,
    Didier
