Compression
One of the most important points in compression theory is that there exists a theoretical limit, known as Shannon's Limit, to how much a given source of data can be compressed. Beyond that point, it is impossible to reliably recover compressed data.
Compression is not a bandwith replacement only a temporary fix!
You should not compress:
Already compressed data
Encrypted data
High speed links
Compression is typically either a cpu or memory intensive opreation and must be preformed on both ends of the connection.
Types of compression
Link compression (also known as per-interface compression, mainly point to point links because the packet is non-routable once compressed)
Payload compression (also known as per-virtual-circuit compression, can be used any situation)
TCP header compression (used when you have lots of small ip packets)
Three types of link compression
predictor - memory intensive
stac - cpu intensive
mppc- microsoft point-to-point compression- used in tunneling ppp across a virtual connection (PPPTP- Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol)
(config-if)#compress {predictor | stac | mppc}
Payload compression
used mainly in
Frame relay
SMDS
ATM
(config-if)#compress payload-compress
TCP header compression
used mostly in PPP connections
(config-if)#ip tcp header-compression
