Thanks: To Stef and Tobias Geiger for giving me the answer. I used the prio to get the order right. Don't know why I did'nt think of it myself. Compression: Another thing that might be useful to the list is the use of compression (Deflate etc.) to get better bandwidth across links. This requires a Linux router at both ends of the link. I got the idea from a product called Peribit see www.peribit.com ( and mainly from Martin Devera who pointed out to me that Linux does compression already with ppp. ) I have now started to work on getting compression built into my traffic shaping/router products that are Linux based. Putting that in place of Cisco should be a much better/cheaper solution do you not think? One could even shape the port that the pppoe runs on. I have looked at Zebedee which also has a solution for "Windows" boxes. Anyway I've just started to do this and If anyone is interested I will let you know the outcome.

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... Allan Gee wrote: > Thanks: To Stef and Tobias Geiger for giving me the answer. I used > the prio to get the order right.
