tinc devel - Jan 2016 - RObust Header Compression

Hi,

I found this library which can compress the TCP, IP and other headers by
keeping a state at both side of the connection :
* https://github.com/didier-barvaux/rohc
* https://rohc-lib.org/presentation/getting-started/

It seems more VoIP oriented, but I guess it can help to reduce the overhead
of the tunnel.

For very small packets, it might do something, but otherwise the gains
are very small; for bulk TCP transmissions for example, it only reduces
the packet size by at most 1.3%.
