/*
* Compressed packet format:
*
* The first octet contains the packet type (top 3 bits), TCP
* 'push' bit, and flags that indicate which of the 4 TCP sequence
* numbers have changed (bottom 5 bits). The next octet is a
* conversation number that associates a saved IP/TCP header with
* the compressed packet. The next two octets are the TCP checksum
* from the original datagram. The next 0 to 15 octets are
* sequence number changes, one change per bit set in the header
* (there may be no changes and there are two special cases where
* the receiver implicitly knows what changed -- see below).
*
* There are 5 numbers which can change (they are always inserted
* in the following order): TCP urgent pointer, window,
* acknowlegement, sequence number and IP ID. (The urgent pointer
* is different from the others in that its value is sent, not the
* change in value.) Since typical use of SLIP links is biased
* toward small packets (see comments on MTU/MSS below), changes
* use a variable length coding with one octet for numbers in the
* range 1 - 255 and 3 octets (0, MSB, LSB) for numbers in the
* range 256 - 65535 or 0. (If the change in sequence number or
* ack is more than 65535, an uncompressed packet is sent.)
*/
/*
* Packet types (must not conflict with IP protocol version)
*
* The top nibble of the first octet is the packet type. There are
* three possible types: IP (not proto TCP or tcp with one of the
* control flags set); uncompressed TCP (a normal IP/TCP packet but
* with the 8-bit protocol field replaced by an 8-bit connection id --
* this type of packet syncs the sender & receiver); and compressed
* TCP (described above).
*
* LSB of 4-bit field is TCP "PUSH" bit (a worthless anachronism) and
* is logically part of the 4-bit "changes" field that follows. Top
* three bits are actual packet type. For backward compatibility
* and in the interest of conserving bits, numbers are chosen so the
* IP protocol version number (4) which normally appears in this nibble
* means "IP packet".
