Klaus,

OK, I see your point. However, in real-world networks, (un)intentional malformed packets may be encountered and the compressor shall cope with them. I believe that the compression/decompression process shall not alter the packet (even the malformed parts), ie. the compression/decompression process shall be fully transparent. The compressor shall therefore handle malformed packets by using the Uncompressed profile.

An additional note about the PCAP file: the AFL fuzzer generates many of malformed packets, the PCAP capture (and its well-formed or malformed packets) caused something to go wrong with either the compressor or the decompressor, so I saved it to avoid the problem to come back later.

Regards,
Didier
