| Zusammenfassung: | A network device incorporating selective compression of stored data packets is disclosed. The network device receives, stores and forwards data packets and includes a system for applying a compression algorithm to packets after their header portions and storing the partially compressed packets, which are decompressed after readout from storage and before they are forwarded. Lengths of a packet as received and as subject to the compression algorithm are compared to prevent storage when the algorithm fails to produce a shorter packet. |
