Please Whitelist This Site?

I know everyone hates ads. But please understand that I am providing premium content for free that takes hundreds of hours of time to research and write. I don't want to go to a pay-only model like some sites, but when more and more people block ads, I end up working for free. And I have a family to support, just like you. :)

If you like The TCP/IP Guide, please consider the download version. It's priced very economically and you can read all of it in a convenient format without ads.

If you want to use this site for free, I'd be grateful if you could add the site to the whitelist for Adblock. To do so, just open the Adblock menu and select "Disable on tcpipguide.com". Or go to the Tools menu and select "Adblock Plus Preferences...". Then click "Add Filter..." at the bottom, and add this string: "@@||tcpipguide.com^$document". Then just click OK.

Thanks for your understanding!

Sincerely, Charles Kozierok

CCP Configuration Options and Compression Algorithms

CCP configuration options are used for only one purpose: to negotiate the type of compression to be used by the two devices, and the specifics of how that algorithm is to be employed. The device initiating the negotiation sends a Configure-Request with one option for each of the compression algorithms it supports. The other device compares this list of options to the algorithms it understands. It also checks for any specific details relevant to the option to see if it agrees on how that algorithm should be used. It then sends back the appropriate reply (Ack, Nak or Reject) and a negotiation ensues until the two devices come up with a common algorithm both understand. If so, compression is turned on; otherwise, it is not enabled.

The CCP configuration options begin with a Type value that indicates the compression algorithm. When the Type value is 0, this indicates that the option contains information about a special, proprietary compression algorithm not covered by any RFC standards, which can be used if both devices understand it. Several values from 1 to 254 indicate compression algorithms that have been defined for use with CCP. Table 30 shows the most common values of the Type field, including the compression algorithm each corresponds to and the number of the RFC that defines it:
