You might find even better links if you spelled his name correctly! :-) It's Van Jacobson. The compression algorithm is documented in RFC 1144. The idea behind it is to not send fields in the IP and TCP headers that aren't changing or are easily predictable. It eliminates fields from both the TCP and IP headers. For some reason, finding a copy of the RFC that isn't in some awful format and hasn't eliminated the figures is difficult with this particular RFC. And the figures are very helpful. So I would recommend a PDF version, even though PDF is a pain sometimes.
