Compressed SLIP
(CSLIP) {VanJacobsen TCP header compression}. A
version of {SLIP} using {compression}. CSLIP has no effect on
the data portion of the {packet} and has nothing to do with
compression by {modem}. It does reduce the {TCP} header from
40 bytes to 7 bytes, a noticeable difference when doing
{telnet} with lots of little packets. CSLIP has no effect on
UDP, only TCP.
