Abstract
A network device is disclosed. The network device includes a port to allow the device to communicate on a full bandwidth channel, a main processor to control reception and transmission of data and a compressor. The compressor identifies repeated fixed sequences in the data, and replaces repeated fixed sequences with an identifier sequence, a count of repetitions and the fixed sequence. The network device may have a decompressor instead of, or in addition to, the compressor that can decompress received data that is compressed.
