Abstract

   The Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) [1] provides a standard method of
   encapsulating multiple protocol datagrams over point-to-point links.
   The PPP Compression Control Protocol [2] provides a method for
   negotiating data compression over PPP links.

   The Magnalink Variable Resource Compression Algorithm (MVRCA) allows
   a wide range of interoperable compression implementations whose
   performance characteristics are a function of available CPU and
   memory resources.

Introduction

   The Magnalink variable resource compression algorithm defines a
   family of interoperable compression solutions with compression
   performance as a function of available CPU and memory resources.  It
   addresses the need for an algorithm which can be tailored to the
   system on which it is implemented without compromising
   interoperability.
