1. A method for compressing a frame header of an Ethernet frame, comprising:
receiving, by a second communication node, a first data packet carrying a first Ethernet frame from a first communication node, and correspondence information between header compression domain information in the first Ethernet frame and a frame header of the first Ethernet frame;
receiving, by the second communication node, a second data packet carrying a second Ethernet frame from the first communication node; and
recovering, according to header compression domain information in the second Ethernet frame and the correspondence information between the header compression domain information in the first Ethernet frame and the frame header of the first Ethernet frame, a frame header of the second Ethernet frame,
wherein the first Ethernet frame is an Ethernet frame on which no Ethernet header compression is performed, the second Ethernet frame is an Ethernet frame on which Ethernet header compression is performed, and the header compression domain information in the first Ethernet frame and the header compression domain information in the second Ethernet frame each comprises a respective header compression domain content index for identifying content of a compressed Ethernet frame header, and a respective header compression domain profile.
