If you already have codecs set up between the proxy instances, you should be able to simply change the codec configuration (again, see the SSH example, or the wanproxy.conf example included with the source code, for examples of using both compression and deduplication). If I'm just not getting it, feel free to let me know; your actual configuration files may be more helpful if it's still unclear.</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks,</div><div>Juli.</div></div><div class="ecxgmail_extra"><br><div class="ecxgmail_quote">On Sat, Oct 11, 2014 at 12:16 AM, Ahmed Al -Ghafri <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:al-ghafri@hotmail.com" target="_blank">al-ghafri@hotmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="ecxgmail_quote" style="border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;">

That codec may be configured with either XCodec (which does deduplication) or no codec (so no deduplication), as well as with a compressor. The compression uses zlib, and you can set the compression level, so that e.g. on a low-CPU box you might set it lower, and on a high-CPU box with a lot of data that benefits from compression, you may set it higher. WANProxy manages it by you configuring it. Deduplication is done by the data before compression, and then the deduplicated data is compressed.
