I am having trouble finding documentation on WCP on Nortel's website. We used to have comprehensive CD-ROM's that included just about anything you could ever want to know about BayRS, and I can not find one right now. I need to know the algorithm WCP uses and how good the compression can be with large and small IP packets.
Any info is helpful, including link to documentation. Thx.

Are you going to use HW or SW compression ? WCP is based onLev-Zimpel algorithms. WCP is a proprietary product. Software version will hog memory and cpu cycles. I may have a document buried somewhere.
I configuring on a T1 between an ASN and BLN years ago, but I could not remember what the expected compression ratios are, and I could not find any docs on it. Using Iperf, I am getting almost 3.5Mb/s across a
1.5Mb/s T1 circuit. Other than checking the WCP box in Site Manager, n other configuration was done. I am not sure if it is doing the compression in HW or SW. The CPU usage on both routers is negligible.-mike
