compression.
requires that the interfaces on each end of the link have the same compression algorithm
enabled with the compress command. The show compress command in the example does not
have any particularly interesting numbers, mainly because of the lack of traffic in the network.
The 1-, 5-, and 10-minute averages are the transmit and receive compression ratios, which are
particularly useful for discovering whether the compression is effective. In fact, if most of the
