A method and apparatus for compressing packets that enables inter-packet compression thereby achieving greater robustness and increased compression ratios without the deleterious effects, e.g., the effect of packet loss multiplying, of prior compression schemes. More particularly, a so-called acknowledgment scheme is employed in conjunction with the specific compression algorithm such that the transmitter, i.e., sender, can limit the history used by the compression algorithm to those packets that are correctly received. In particular, a vector identifying the packets used as the history is included in the compressed packet thereby enabling the receiver to reconstruct the packet history state necessary to decompress the packet. Advantageously, increased robustness and greater compression ratios are achieved independent of any particular one compression scheme.
