As you might know, VJ-compression is already popular but it's just compression(get rid of redundancy) of tcp/ip header. But Predictor-1 will try compression whole date when talk to peer ppp. This will give us two advantage as follows: 1. Decrese system over head due to reducing a sio H/W interruption. (H/W interruption is required big cpu time especially latest cpu) 2. For ISDN TA that doen's has a own H/W compression can get double speed with not compression data.
