Abstract:
A network having traffic shapers or controllers to convey packets between a sender and receiver over first and second channels of a network. A compression and decompression module associated with the sending traffic shaper or controller compresses, marks, and forwards packets to the receiver over the second channel when the packet is compressible, as determined by size reduction. A compression and decompression module associated with the receiving traffic shaper identifies marked data packets sent over the second channel and, in response thereto, decompresses and forwards the packets to the receiver.
