ppp compression

[Martin Patterson - Sun Microsystems <[e-mail]>]

	For info, here is the reference for the compression control protocol
which has been mentioned recently.

	Our experience with IPSEC protocols over classic 28.8k dialup PPP
links suggests that payload compression is a must.

A Revised Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts 
directories. This draft is a work item of the Point-to-Point Protocol 
Extensions Working Group of the IETF.                                      

Note: This revision reflects comments received during the last call period.

       Title     : PPP Stac LZS Compression Protocol                       
       Author(s) : R. Friend, W. Simpson
       Filename  : draft-ietf-pppext-stacker-07.txt

The Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) [1] provides a standard method for 
transporting multi-protocol datagrams over point-to-point links.  
         
The PPP Compression Control Protocol [2] provides a method to negotiate and
utilize compression protocols over PPP encapsulated links.           

This document describes the use of the Stac LZS data compression algorithm, 
with single or multiple compression histories, for compressing 
PPP encapsulated packets.

Send a message to:  [e-mail]. In the body type: 
     "FILE /internet-drafts/draft-ietf-pppext-stacker-07.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.
							
For questions, please mail to [e-mail].
							

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