The only people for me are the mad ones -- the ones who are mad to live,
mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time,
the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn
like fabulous yellow Roman candles.

There exists RFC 3173 (IP Payload Compression Protocol) though I don't know
how widely it's implemented.

There is also PPP Compression Control Protocol; see RFC 1962. HTTP sort-of
supports compression by means of the Content-Encoding header; see RFC 2616
sect. 14.11.

The Application level, assuming your application supports
compression.
