Allocating Compression Memory for WCP
Using WCP across a network involves allocating memory to maximize
compression without taxing the resources of your router. To achieve this goal, you
can customize compression parameters to:
• Maximize the compression ratio.
• Maximize throughput.
• Prevent data loss.
Maximizing the Compression Ratio
You can compress data in one of two modes:
•
Continuous packet compression (CPC)
maintains compression history across
packets. CPC yields a higher compression ratio
than packet-by-packet
compression. In most circumstances, you should select CPC, the default
value, to maximize compression.
•
Packet-by-packet compression (PPC)
creates a new history for each packet.
PPC yields a lower compression ratio than CPC. Select PPC only for links
that drop a very large number of packets. Be aware that under these
circumstances, implementing data compression may offer little or no
advantage.
If either side of the link specifies PPC, both sides of the link must use PPC.
To specify the compression mode for a line, complete the following tasks:
