       Title     : LZS Payload Compression Transform for ESP               
       Author(s) : M. Sabin, R. Monsour
       Filename  : draft-sabin-lzs-payload-00.txt
       Pages     : 7
       Date      : 11/26/1996

This memo proposes a "payload compression transform" based on the LZS 
compression algorithm.  The transform can be used to compress the payload 
field of an IP datagram that uses the Encapsulating Security Payload (ESP) 
format.  The compression transform proposed here is stateless, meaning that
a datagram can be decompressed independently of any other datagram.  
Compression is performed prior to the encryption operation of ESP, which 
has the side benefit of reducing the amount of data that must be encrypted.

This memo anticipates a forthcoming draft of ESP that will supercede 
[Atkins96].  The forthcoming draft will allow for ESP payloads to be 
compressed via transforms such as the one described in this memo.

Send a message to:  [e-mail]. In the body type: 
     "FILE /internet-drafts/draft-sabin-lzs-payload-00.txt".
							
NOTE: The mail server at ds.internic.net can return the document in
      MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility.  To use this
      feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
      command.  To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
      a MIME-compliant mail reader.  Different MIME-compliant mail readers
      exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
      "multipart" MIME messages (i.e., documents which have been split
      up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
      how to manipulate these messages.
							
							

Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader 
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version
of the Internet-Draft.
