6.4 Header Compression
Each site may enable or disable compression of IP header information. When a site is created, IP header
compression will be enabled by default.
When IP headers are compressed, the SCS replaces the packet’s header with a
slot number
. This number
is assigned dynamically, and denotes that the packet originated from a particular connection (for example,
a Telnet session). When the destination receives the packet, it will decompress the header, replacing the
representative slot number with the complete header information.
To use header compression, configure the number of slots (connections) supported on the site. This number
should be slightly higher than the anticipated number of connections; in the event that more connections are
made than expected, additional slots will be available for those connections.
To disable IP header compression, use the following command.

Disabling IP Header Compression
Note:
The SCS uses Van Jacobson TCP compression, discussed in RFC 1144.
Note:
6.5 Establishing Sessions
When you log into an SCS port to connect to a network service, your connection is referred to as a
session
.
A network service may be an interactive login to a TCP/IP host, a connection to a modem on the SCS,
another server, etc.
Note:
The word “sessions” in this manual is used to describe interactive connections;
PPP or SLIP connections are not referred to as sessions.
The following section explains how to establish sessions and set up connection characteristics. Specific port
configuration and other session characteristics are discussed in
Port-Specific Session Configuration
on page
8-4.
To display the current sessions, use the
Show Sessions
command. The port number and username will be
displayed, along with the connection type and current number of sessions.
