title: Compressing data traffic over a network
body: <p>I am looking for a distinction or what is needed for data compression over a network.</p>
  
  <p>Now i am not talking about something simple like http/and image compression, but am looking for something more efficient and that actually compresses the network data.</p>
  
  <p>It could be something that compresses at point A and decompresses at Point B with some device, or computer.</p>
  
  <p>But does something like this exist or what would be the distinction I am looking for to tackle something like this?</p>
  
  <p>Is there anything that can split up the information and compress it on the way to save traffic? And I am talking about serious compression here of all data.</p>
