Data compression

Resilio Active Everywhere Agents don't compress data during transfer by default. To enable compression, set the tunnel_compress_stream parameter in the Job Profile. Ensure all Agents in the job have this parameter set; otherwise, the job will fail.

Resilio Connect Agents use zlib level 6 algorithm to compress data pieces.

It can be useful in case you have extremely limited (or expensive) connection and high-profile CPUs on all the peers participating the transfer.

Consult Resilio Support team before enabling

Enabling data compression can cause some side effects like increased CPU usage or reduced transfer speed. It is strongly recommended to consult Resilio Support before enabling the option.
