  • receiving, by a first data processing system, a message from a second data processing system, the message including an uncompressed header and in response,determining, by the first data processing system, whether impact of header compression on performance of the first data processing system is favorable by comparing operating characteristics of the first data processing system to a predetermined threshold, andin response to the impact being determined to be favorable,caching the uncompressed header at the first data processing system, andsending, by the first data processing system, an identifier to the second data processing system to identify the uncompressed header cached at the first data processing system; and

    performing, by the second data processing system, header compression for subsequent messages that are sent to the first data processing system by using the returned identifier.
