While it isn't compressed it is windowed. It's where the type fits in the window and how many windows that are active that control the size of the map not whether the type code is large or not. Yes, using a generic compression algorithm would probably result in less bits. 11:36:33.535473 IP 127.0.0.1.53 > 127.0.0.1.59788: 64667$ 1/0/0 NSEC (85) 0x0000: 4500 0071 3553 0000 4011 0000 7f00 0001 E..q5S..@....... 0x0010: 7f00 0001 0035 e98c 005d fe70 fc9b 81a0 .....5...].p.... 0x0020: 0001 0001 0000 0000 0369 7363 036f 7267 .........isc.org 0x0030: 0364 6c76 0369 7363 036f 7267 0000 2f00 .dlv.isc.org../. 0x0040: 01c0 0c00 2f00 0100 000d a500 2407 6973 ..../.......$.is 0x0050: 632d 736e 7303 6f72 6703 646c 7603 6973 c-sns.org.dlv.is 0x0060: 6303 6f72 6700 0006 0000 0000 0003 8001 c.org........... 0x0070: 40 isc.org.dlv.isc.org. 3493 IN NSEC isc-sns.org.dlv.isc.org.
