off error correction and compression.
Just wondering: how difficult it would be add simple per-packet compression
to NetBSD slip drivers? I don't mind the CPU, I have some junk I could
dedicate for the sole purpose of compressing IP packets :-) This probably
adds some delay, but if it is done per-packet, it probably would not be so
bad? More performance could probably be achieved by keeping compression
tables between packets.
There are collections of compression algorithms in
nic.funet.fi:/pub/msdos/programming/compression/lds_10.lzh. I guess zip
would be the best alternative, others probably risk patent problems.
I haven't looked into the code yet, but maybe, RSN :-)
