Transport Compression #485

Closed Winterhuman closed 2 months ago

Winterhuman commented 1 year ago

I recently saw this project (https://github.com/individe/js-libp2p-snappy-muxer) and was reminded about an issue related to this, but it turns out the issue is at https://github.com/libp2p/libp2p/issues/81. I'm opening this issue to maybe revitalize interest in transport-level compression

I am not aware of any recent, ongoing or planned efforts for compression on the transport layer. This is not to say that we should never do it.
