networking (CSLIP) VanJacobsen TCP header compression. A version of
SLIP using
compression. CSLIP has no effect on the data portion of the
packet and has nothing to do with compression by
modem. It does reduce the
TCP header from 40 bytes to 7 bytes, a noticeable difference when doing
telnet with lots of little packets. CSLIP has no effect on UDP, only TCP.
