I have an IP based network and use EoIP (bridged with LAN) to connect two remote networks directly.
Is there a way to include compression over that link without using PPTP in the mix?
The users are copying large datasets (folders) uncompressed, some which could compress down to 20%, so if I could compress it all, I think it would be significantly faster.
Thanks

I think that for now you can only use /ip packing for improving transfer of many small packets, but compression as you want it may be better by educating you clients to zip the files before transfer.
Oh cool, I’ve never noticed or knew about that option. I suppose I should apply it to EoIP interface only, on both sides(routers). Correct?
Thanks for that.
Yes, it must be put on both ends.
But remember. It will improve much small packets delivery. For large packets you won’t see much.
You will also benefit from this on wireless links. It is so for me. All the links between mt’s have packing on.
