I looking for the information regarding the ROHC compression (IETF 3095 ) for the ipv6. ipv4 support is already implemented.

ROHCcompressed packets can be of the following types: IR, IR-DYN, UOR-2, UOR-2-ID, UOR-2-TS etc.

IR packets carry both the Static and dynamic header fields of the input stream header ( eg IP/UDP/RTP, IP/UDP etc streams). IR-DYN contains only the Dynamic part of the headers. UOR-2-ID contains the IP-ID, SN, CRC fields. Where in IP-ID is the compressed form of the ip-identifier field in the ipv4 header.

Now my question is in ipv6, there is no IP-Identification field. But the spec is not very clear abt the Packet types for ipv6. If it is using the same packet types, then i am not sure what to send in the IP-ID field in the ROHC packets ?

Any help or pointers are really appreciated.
