Compression on VPN tunnels

[jkrawczyk]

Hi,

I'm about to enable compression on my 2961 VPN routers. Seems like a no-brainer. However, has anybody come across any issues that I should be aways of? My compression card is the AIM-VPN/BPII/EPII

Regards

Jeff

With the AIM-VPN card in the router you might as well see what it will do. Attempting to compress VPN traffic after it has gone through IPSec is usually not very effective (trying to compress encrypted data does not usually produce much efficiency). But the card in the router should work pretty well.
