4 SCHC for Header Compression of Upper Layers 220
[RFC8724] specifies the generic SCHC header compression/decompression and 221
fragmentation/reassembly mechanisms. It also describes the application of SCHC to 222
compress the UDP/IPv6 headers. The generic compression/decompression mechanisms of 223
[RFC8724] MAY be used in compressing headers of upper layers, in conjunction with IPv6 224
compression, or independently. 225
When using Constrained Application Protocol (COAP), it is RECOMMENDED to apply SCHC 226
header compression as described in [RFC8824]. When using Device Language Message 227
Specification (DLMS), it is RECOMMENDED to apply SCHC header compression as 228
described in [DLMSBLUEBOOK]. 229
