ability to maintain separate histories for compression and decompression,
which optimizes performance when line errors occur. Now end users can benefit from compression at layer 2 (PPP),

264/AVC is the innovating emerging compression video standard, which
brings a 50% bitrate saving compared to the well established MPEG-2 video
standard.1 eliminates the possibility of data expansion in the data
communications channel while maintaining history optimizing both compression
ratio and data transmission performance. Now, with Hifn's security processors that include
LZS, SSL VPN manufacturers can uniquely offer bandwidth acceleration and
enhanced user experience in their security product lines. Web:
