< networking > (CSLIP) VanJacobsen TCP header compression . A version of SLIP using compression . CSLIP has no effect on the data portion of the packet and has nothing to do with compression by modem . It does reduce the TCP header from 40 bytes to 7 bytes, a noticeable difference when doing telnet with lots of little packets. CSLIP has no effect on UDP, only TCP.
