Selecting a compression mode
A Standard option provides hardware compression and is available on all platforms. The 8
Gbps Extension Switch and the 8 Gbps Extension Blade provide three additional options for
compression. The Moderate option enables a combination of hardware and software
compression that provides more compression that hardware compression alone. This option
supports up to 8 Gbps of FC traffic. the Aggressive option is a software only compression
option that provides a more aggressive algorithm. This option supports up to 2.5 Gbps of FC
traffic. The Auto option allows the system to set the best compression mode based on the
tunnel's configured bandwidth and the bandwidth of all tunnels in the system.
