The following definitions explain the fields in the Compression & Congestion window.

Interface — Displays the available, pre-configured interface numbers.

Compression — Displays the status of data compression for a specific interface. Options for this field are either on (box shows a check mark) or off.

The following definitions explain the fields in the Compression & Congestion window for Frame Relay only:

Committed Burst — Displays the Committed Burst size, which is the maximum amount of data a user may offer to the network during a calculated time interval. It is guaranteed that this data will not be discarded by the network.

Excess Burst — Displays the Excess Burst size, which is the maximum amount of data by which a user can exceed the committed Burst size. There is no guarantee that this data will be passed by the network.

Throughput — Displays the compression throughput. Throughput is the actual amount of data being passed onto the WAN link, after compression.

To turn data compression on or off for a specific interface, click on the interface number that you wish to configure in the compression scroll list, then click the compression check box. Clicking the Apply Changes button applies the changes to the interface.

Once compression configuration is complete, click on the Save button to save any changes you make, then click on the Exit button to exit the Compression & Congestion window.
