Configuring TCP Ports for iFCP
Figure 4-4 Advanced TCP Configuration iFCP Parameter
1. Select the compression behavior for the TCP/IP port using the
Compression Level combo box. Compression is an optional
software feature; the Compression Level field is disabled if
compression is not included in your software version.
Compression technology takes advantage of replicated characters
or patterns being sent across a network port to effectively increase
throughput on that port. Only the payload is compressed and not
the TCP/IP header. Packets with a size less than 512 bytes are not
compressed. Compression is especially useful when transmitting
data over a slow link such as a T1 or 10
Mbps Ethernet. The
following options are available for Compression Level:
• None - Data that is going out of the port is not compressed.
This is the default setting.
