SigComp Server Test Suite Data Sheet

Test Suite: SigComp Server Test Suite

Direction: Server

Signaling Compression (SigComp) is a solution for compressing messages generated by application protocols such as the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) and the Real Time Streaming Protocol (RTSP). The decompression functionality is provided by a Universal Decompressor Virtual Machine (UDVM) which provides an instruction set optimised for decompression algorithms. The bytecode for decompressing the compressed message is transmitted with the message.
