How to Configure IPX and NCP Header Compression per Call
Destination
The more concurrent IPX sessions you use over the interface, the more
compression slots you should allocate.
IMPORTANT:
Be careful not to allocate too many compression slots. Memory is
required to store the headers, and the compression algorithm must scan through
stored headers to find a match for each transmitted packet. An excessive number
of slots results in a higher processing load and slower performance.
