RFC 1553:
Title: Compressing IPX Headers Over WAM Media (CIPX)
Author: S. Mathur & M. Lewis
Mailbox: mathur@telebit.com & mark.s.lewis@telebit.com
Pages: 23
Characters: 47,450
Updates/Obsoletes: none
This document describes a method for compressing the headers of IPX
datagrams (CIPX). With this method, it is possible to significantly
improve performance over lower speed wide area network (WAN) media.
For normal IPX packet traffic, CIPX can provide a compression ratio of
approximately 2:1 including both IPX header and data. This method can
be used on various type of WAN media, including those supporting PPP
and X.25. This memo ia a product of the Point-to-Point Protocol
Extensions (PPPEXT) Working Group of the IETF.
This is now a Proposed Standard Protocol.
This document specifies an Internet standards track protocol for the
Internet community, and requests discussion and suggestions for
improvements. Please refer to the current edition of the "Internet
Official Protocol Standards" (STD 1) for the standardization state and
status of this protocol. Distribution of this memo is unlimited.
This announcement is sent to the IETF list and the RFC-DIST list.
