hi,
We are trying to build a network compression tool which will compress the
data that is transfered between two machines. While lzo, performs very well
for text-based data, we thought it would be nice to use different
compression algorithms for different types of data.
Since OPENVPN supports lzo compression we are using that for the initial
version. We also noticed that the compression is done at the packet level.
Is there any way that we can specify an additional compression algorithm
to be used ?
If we have for e.g., basically two types to data that is sent over the
network, lets say one type that compresses well with lzo, and another type
that is better when compressed with another algorithm (or that is better off
uncompressed), does that mean we'll have to run two instances of OPENVPN?
Thanking in advance,
Mindika
