Header compression increases the throughput of IPX and NCP packets over
low-speed serial lines. An IPX packet header is 30 bytes and is typically
followed by an upper-layer protocol header, such as an SPX header. Header
compression reduces the size of this combined packet header to just a few
bytes.
Header compression is negotiated by the IPXWAN
established over any WAN connection. Header compression is not used on the
connection if IPXWAN detects that one of the end nodes does not support it.
