Greetings Tim,
I always thought that "industry standard" or "standards-based" meant
IETF, FRF, etc...
At least in Cisco-speak :)
Whereas FRF.9 was FR data compression
FRF.12 was FR fragmentation
And so on...
The Frame Relay Forum, now better known as the MPLS Forum;
Has this link to summarize the FRF standards:
http://www.mplsforum.org/frame/frfia.shtml
Being the slightly paranoid android that I am...
I too am curious about this, from the Cisco perspective.
Cisco's site offers that STAC is "based on the industry standard Lemple
Ziv algorithm"
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/customer/tech/tk713/tk802/technologies_q_and_a_item09186a008019be75.shtml
(WAN Compression FAQs)
Our good fortune is that with FRF9 the only option is STAC, at least on
my rack.
So that would seem to narrow our possibilities.
More reading @
Stac LZS @ RFC1974
http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc1974.html
And Predictor @ RFC1978
http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc1978.html
...both state " This memo does not specify an Internet standard of any
kind."
HTH,

Hi guys,
I couldn't find in the doc-cd anything that specifies whether or not
Stac
compression is standards based or not.
Is there anyplace where I could verify this?
Thanks, Tim
