What compression methods are applicable to a typical 1Gbps ethernet link? (non-enterprise bias, hardware or software, layer 1-4)
Or: "What solutions exist to improve typical 1GigE ethernet throughput?"
I lack the expertise to determine what methods in layers 1-4 are practical with current technology.
For instance, I recall that there were some methods with dial-up to compress headers by store state on either end and only send packet diffs, with huge savings, but don't know if that kind of technology is typically enabled in typical home/small-business environments.
