Preface
Data compression
is a routing feature that eliminates redundancy in data streams,
reducing the amouont of bandwidth needed to transport LAN protocols over a
wide area. Bay Networks® routers and routing software support data compression
over frame relay, X.25, and PPP (dial-up or leased lines). This guide describes
what you do to start and customize data compression on a Bay Networks router.
This guide describes how to use Site Manager to configure data compression on a
router.
If you are responsible for configuring data compression, you need to read this
guide.
