Hi,
I would like to use ppp compression to communicate between a 4500 and
a NetBSD box with pppd.
The cisco says:
multicast(config-if)#ppp comp ?
predictor Predictor Compression
stacker Stacker (LZS) Compression
and pppd says:
bsdcomp nr,nt
Request that the peer compress packets that it
sends, using the BSD-Compress scheme, with a maxi-
mum code size of nr bits, and agree to compress
packets sent to the peer with a maximum code size
of nt bits. If nt is not specified, it defaults to
the value given for nr. Values in the range 9 to
15 may be used for nr and nt; larger values give
better compression but consume more kernel memory
for compression dictionaries. Alternatively, a
value of 0 for nr or nt disables compression in the
corresponding direction.
Are they compatible? If not, does anyone have either a cisco image,
that does or a pppd that does either one of the cisco compressions?
Tia
Heiko
