Interested in better bandwidth utilization? Mitigate IP overhead using GateHouse RFC 2507 Header Compression (IPHC).
Used across several products and deployed world-wide, the GateHouse IP Header Compression (IPHC) implementation greatly increases the bandwidth utilization of IP connections with a high header to payload ratio. Compliant to the RFC 2507 Internet standard, it reduces the protocol overhead of IP communication by up to 90% by compressing the packet headers of the TCP, UDP, and IP protocols leaving out unnecessary information.
For applications, such as Voice over IP, instant messaging, or media streaming, where the protocol overhead often accounts for 50% of the total bandwidth usage, header compression has a substantial impact on the performance of an internet connection – even more so for metered connections.
RFC 2507 IP Header Compression has over 10 years of usage in more than 20 different types of satellite terminals. The wide usage testifies the value offered by the tool.
Mitigate IP overhead using GateHouse RFC 2507 Header Compression (IPHC). As IP connections often introduce a high overhead that consumes the bandwidth of the connection, you might be interested in a better bandwidth utilization.
