Customizing Hardware Compression
The following issues are specific to hardware compression:
• Selecting software or hardware compression (described on page 3-9
)
• Selecting a fallback compression mode (described on page 3-11
)
Selecting Software or Hardware Compression
When you configure a VC for compression, the default compression type varies
(Table 3-4
).
You can use software compression with a hardware compression daughterboard or
net module. Bay Networks recommends that you use hardware compression for
connections operating at speeds greater than 512 Kb/s. You should specify
software compression for VCs in excess of the number of contexts your hardware
compression daughterboard or net module can support.
