IP Module Ethernet Interface Overview

3xDES Encryption with Ability to Change Keys

The IP Module optionally supports 3xDES-128 (using NIST certified 3x core) encryption
and decryption, for the highest level security for link encryption. Each unit supports eight
encryption keys and eight decryption keys. The keys are user configurable. Each route
can be assigned to be encrypted by any of the eight available keys, random key method,
or transmitted in clear.
15.4.2

IP Header Compression

Header Compression is also an optional feature of the IP Module. The IP Module
supports Header Compression for the following Ethernet and Layer 3 & 4 Headers:
Header Compression reduces the required VoIP bandwidth by 60 percent. Example: A
G.729a voice codec, operating at 8 kbps, will occupy 32 kbps once encapsulated into IP
framing on a LAN. Using IP/UDP/RTP Header Compression, the same traffic only needs
10.8 kbps total WAN satellite bandwidth to cross the link. A total maximum of 64
simultaneous VoIP calls can be compressed. Normal Web/HTTP traffic can be reduced
an additional 10% via IP/TCP header compression.
Header Compression Configuration – Header Compression is completely independent
from QoS, and there is no configuration required except enabling the Header
Compression feature on both the sending and receiving Comtech EF Data IP modem.
Packets with a Header Compression supported header will automatically be identified for
compression. The only configuration consideration is the Header Compression Refresh
