IP Payload Compression Protocol

 | This article provides insufficient context for those unfamiliar with the subject. |
The IP Payload Compression Protocol, or IPComp, is a low level compression protocol for IP datagrams defined in RFC 2393. [1] The intent is to reduce the size of data transmitted over congested or slow network connections. Thereby increasing the speed of such networks without losing data. According to the RFC requirements compression must been done before fragementing or encrypting the packet. It further states that each datagram must be compressed in independently so it can be decompressed even if received out of order.
