3.6 Performance enhancement Proxy (Available in versions AO12001 and higher)

Improved efficiency is provided through the Performance Enhancement Proxy (PEP) feature and data
compression. PEP provides improved throughput for data connections that suffer data degradations.
Transport efficiency is provided through reducing communication overhead by eliminating redundant
information in IP headers. Additional compression can be achieved by reducing redundant information in the
payload data, using ZLIB compression.
There are four options with data compression:
1. IP Header and ZLIB compression (default setting)
2. IP Header only
3. ZLIB compression only
4. no compression
To enable PEP, when logged in as Administrator, from the configuration page, select the PEP checkbox.
To disable PEP, de-select the checkbox.
To configure Compression, when logged in as Administrator, from the configuration page, select which option
you want from the dropdown menu.
PEP configuration will not be accessible until Iridium Gateway update is complete.
