In recent era of Information Technology the data traffic over the Internet is
increasing uncontrollably. This proliferation of data traffic is due to general shift
towards e-business and other application of Information Technology. The
businesses relying on Internet lose billions of dollars each year due to slow or
failed web services. Therefore, in Internet research, the most conspicuous issue
is to develop methodologies to reduce net traffic over the Internet. In this paper,
an algorithm is proposed to reduce net data traffic, which works at Internet layer in
TCP/IP reference model. The algorithm monitors data repetitions in IP
datagram and prepares a compression code in response of this repetition. If no IP
datagrams are repeated, no compression code is sent. Therefore, the algorithm does not
put any overhead on the system. Furthermore, as the proposed algorithm works at IP
datagrams only, therefore, it remains transparent from all client-server !
applications.

NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this
feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers
exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
how to manipulate these messages.
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
