1553: Compressing IPX Headers Over WAN Media (CIPX).

This document describes a method for compressing the headers of IPX datagrams (CIPX). With this method, it is possible to significantly improve performance over lower speed wide area network (WAN) media. For normal IPX packet traffic, CIPX can provide a compression ratio of approximately 2:1 including both IPX header and data. This method can be used on various type of WAN media, including those supporting PPP and X.25.
