Hi there, I would like to know some of the major features for OpenSSH(version 3.2.3 and upwards) to be used on AIX version 5.x. It would be nice if any of you could inform me the bencmark statistics available on the rate of compression that this OpenSSH can do for a 'binary' file transfer and the resulting load on the network.

With a constant per-packet overhead, it will create equivalent network traffic to that gzip mode. --Dan

Transferring a stream of 0 bytes will compress very well. On the other hand MPEG video will compress very poorly, and may even suffer some expansion. You should perform your own tests on your own data, nothing else is really relevant. -d
