Abstract: A system performs tunneling for real time communication (“RTC”) between a source endpoint and a destination endpoint. The system receives, by a server, a request from a user equipment (“UE”) for enabling header compression of inner internet protocol (“IP”) and transport headers of media traffic encapsulated within a tunnel. The media traffic corresponds to the RTC between the source endpoint and the destination endpoint. The system determines a mapping that maps one or more indices to identifying information of the source endpoint and the destination endpoint, and sends a response to the UE including the mapping. Upon sending the response, the UE and the server communicate the media traffic according to the mapping, where the media traffic includes media packets in which inner IP and transport headers are replaced with an index within the one or more indices.
