Data Compression

Routing daemons can compress data to reduce the network volume that travels between neighbors.

•

Compression is most useful when you pay for WAN transmission by volume.

•

Compression reduces volume at the cost of speed. Compression and decompression slows rvrd processing at both ends of a neighbor link.

To enable data compression, select an appropriate option on the neighbor interface forms of both neighbors; see Add New Neighbor Interface.
