Parameter: History Size
Path: Configuration Manager > Protocols > WCP > Interfaces
Default: Inherit from Line
Options: 32 K
| 8 K | Inherit from Line
Function: Indicates the amount of memory allocated to compression history for the circuit.
Remember that history size entails separate compression and decompression
histories and lookup tables on each side of a link. For example, if the link uses
software compression with a history of 8 KB, each end of the link allocates 8
KB of memory for compression, 16 KB for a compression lookup table, and 8
KB for decompression, or 32 KB total. If the link uses a compression history of
32 KB, each end of the link allocates 32 KB of memory for compression, 64 KB
for a compression lookup table, and 32 KB for decompression, for a total of 128
KB. Hardware compression entails similar requirements.
Selecting 32 K for PPP WCP should not pose a problem for the BN, because
PPP allows only one circuit per line. Select 8 K or 32 K for Frame Relay and
X.25 lines, depending on the resources of your network.
Selecting 32 K for PPP WCP on the ASN can cause problems, particularly if
you are using a 32-context compression net module.
In general, 8 KB histories are appropriate for WAN links that run at 64 Kb/s or
less, because less throughput is required. Use an 8 KB history size with Frame
Relay and X.25, which have large numbers of VCs and low available
bandwidth, and with PPP on a 32-context net module.
You may want to allocate a 32 KB history size for links with speeds higher than
64 Kb/s to improve throughput. The compression engine can find a data pattern
match up to three times faster using a 32 KB history than an 8 KB history.
If you select different history sizes for the two sides of a link, the smaller of the
two becomes the effective history size.
Inherit from Line allows you to set WCP parameters at the line level and apply
them to circuits.
Instructions: Select Inherit from Line if you want to accept the value in effect for the WCP
History Size line parameter. Otherwise, select either 32 K or 8 K.
