Van Jacobson TCP/IP Header Compression is a technique designed to reduce the size of TCP/IP headers when data is transmitted over networks, particularly in environments with limited bandwidth, such as dial-up connections or wireless networks. Developed by Van Jacobson in the late 1980s, the technique is particularly useful for applications that require the transmission of small data packets frequently.
