ip tcp header-compression
Usage Guidelines You can compress the headers of your TCP/IP packets in order to reduce the size of your packets. TCP
header compression is supported on serial lines using Frame Relay, HDLC, or PPP encapsulation. You
must enable compression on both ends of a serial connection. Compressing the TCP header can speed
up Telnet connections dramatically.
In general, TCP header compression is advantageous when your traffic consists of many small packets,
not for traffic that consists of large packets. Transaction processing (usually using terminals) tends to
use small packets and file transfers use large packets. This feature only compresses the TCP header, so
it has no effect on User Datagram Protocol (UDP) packets or other headers.
passive Keyword
By default, the ip tcp header-compression command compresses outgoing TCP traffic. This command
includes an optional passive keyword. If you specify the passive keyword, outgoing TCP traffic is
compressed only if incoming TCP traffic on the same interface is compressed. If you do not specify the
passive keyword, all TCP traffic is compressed.
For PPP interfaces, the passive keyword is ignored. PPP interfaces negotiate the use of header
compression, regardless of whether the passive keyword is specified. Therefore, on PPP interfaces, the
passive keyword is replaced by the IPHC format, the default format for PPP interfaces.
iphc-format Keyword
This command includes the iphc-format keyword. The iphc-format keyword indicates the type of
header compression that will be used. For PPP and HDLC interfaces, when the iphc-format keyword is
specified, Real-Time Protocol (RTP) header compression is also enabled. For this reason, the ip rtp
header-compression command appears in the output of the show running-config command. Because
both TCP and RTP header compression are enabled, both TCP and UDP packets are compressed.
Note For Frame Relay interfaces, the iphc-format keyword is not available.
ietf-format Keyword
This command includes the ietf-format keyword. The ietf-format keyword indicates the type of header
compression that will be used. For HDLC interfaces, the ietf-format keyword compresses only TCP
packets. For PPP interfaces, when the ietf-format keyword is specified, RTP header compression is also
enabled. For this reason, the ip rtp header-compression command appears in the output of the show
running-config command. Because both TCP and RTP header compression are enabled, both TCP and
UDP packets are compressed.
Note For Frame Relay interfaces, the ietf-format keyword is not available.
Examples The following example sets the first serial interface for header compression with a maximum of 10 cache
entries:
Router(config)# interface t1 0/1
Router(config-if)# ip tcp header-compression
Router(config-if)# ip tcp compression-connections 10
