Data Transmission
For PPP links using WCP, Network Control Protocol (NCP) negotiations and
WCP negotiations occur simultaneously. When PPP, NCP, and WCP negotiations
are complete, data transmission using compression begins.
For PPP links using Hi/fn LZS, data transmission using compression begins when
CCP and NCP negotiations are complete.
For frame relay and X.25 links, data transmission using compression begins when
WCP negotiations are complete.
Compression Features for Specific Protocols
Nortel Networks data compression services vary in some details according to the
WAN protocols that you configure. Read the following sections to learn about
how Nortel Networks implements data compression for PPP, frame relay, and
X.25 services.
PPP Services
You can use software or hardware data compression on all PPP circuits, including
multiline and multilink, bandwidth-on-demand, dial-on-demand, and dial backup
lines. When you use compression on a bandwidth-on-demand, dial-on-demand, or
dial backup circuit, WCP automatically configures or deletes compression as lines
are added to or removed from the circuit.
PPP Multiline
Multiline enables you to configure a single circuit consisting of one or more WAN
data paths. A data path is a logical point-to-point channel; it can be a permanent
or dial-up physical line, or it can be a virtual circuit connection. Multiline
provides both increased fault tolerance and greater bandwidth between two sites.
Note:
Enabling WCP adds five bytes to the frame’s header. In most cases, this
has no effect on your data and there is no need for you to adjust the default
configuration. If you want to increase the maximum transmission unit (MTU)
to avoid fragmenting or dropping large packets, refer to the manual for the
WAN protocol you are using.
