Hey everyone, hopefully some one can help me out here.
One of our remote sites has grown to the point of needing to expand the existing PPP T1 from the central office(2611) to the remote site(2610). However due to cost and urgency we are looking at installing AIM-COMPR modules to compress the data over the T1 in order to give us time to get a new T1 up and running. Our traffic pattern is mainly HTTP to our internal servers at the central office with small amounts of VOIP included. The central office is also our only gateway to the internet.
My question is, does anyone have any of the compression modules installed and if so how well do they really compress the data? I understand it is dependent traffic, but in order to convince the rest of the IT department that we should go this route in the mean time it would be nice if people could give examples of traffic flow and how well the compression actually works. (ie. does it really do 4 to 1 compression or is that just a "best case" scenario, etc.)
Thanks in advance,
Burke
