Followup on SCTP & improved compression

[Michael Adams]

Sorry for the delayed response: been a busy weekend. SCTP looks very 
promising, and would make a hopefully stable mesh: I agree with your 
assessment in that regard vs optimized UDP setups.

As for my request for improved compression, the "zpipe" implementation 
looks promising, as it is a high-level streaming compressor. I know most 
of the developers appear to hail from Europe: a rather enlightened part 
of the globe in terms of telecom infrastructure. Here in the US, we're 
stuck with asymmetrical DSL and Cable services that are quite limited in 
most locations: most of the locations I support with tinc are using 1.5 
or 3 mbit down, 0.5 or 0.75 mbit up, DSL. The more bandwidth I can get 
out of a line, the better.
