Hi,
thanks for the thanks :)
i looked at the whitepaper on www.peribit.com and it seems that they do
much more than the standard (lzw-) compression:
they use kind of proxy for cachable protocols, and their MSR ("Molecular
Sequence Reduction", sounds great ! :) Algorithm to find repeating
patterns even across multiple packets.
although i can't really believe that this doesn't effect latency the
technical approach sounds amazing.
The great "disadvantage" is that u need such a box at both ends
(obviously) unlike compressed pppd (at least i think windows understands
compressed-pppd, or?) which is more platform independent. But i admit
this is like comparing apples with pears...
