Command History
Usage Guidelines If you use this command without the passive keyword, the software compresses all RTP traffic.
You can compress IP/UDP/RTP headers and IP/UDP headers to reduce the size of your packets.
Compressing headers is especially useful for RTP, because RTP payload size can be as small as 20 bytes,
and the uncompressed header is 40 bytes.
RTP header compression is supported on serial lines using PPP encapsulation. You must enable
compression on both ends of a serial connection.
Examples The following example enables RTP header compression on fast ethernet interface 1 and limits the
number of RTP header compression connections to 10:
interface serial 0
encapsulation ppp
ip rtp header-compression
ip rtp compression-connections 10
passive (Optional) Compresses outgoing RTP packets only if incoming RTP packets
on the same interface are compressed. This option is not applicable on PPP
links.
