Compress

Compress

• Opt-in server and client data compression when syncing ZDOs.
• ZPackage/ZSteamSocket optimizations for related code in the SendZDOs hot-loop.

Notes

• This mod must be installed on the server to enable compression.
  • As a client, if the server does not have the mod then Compress will send uncompressed/vanilla data.
    • Your Send rate in the F2 Panel will be the usual ~150 KB/s.
  • As a client, if the server does have the mod it will start sending and receiving compressed ZDO data.
    • You should see a drop in your Send rate of around 50% to ~80 KB/s.
