Most of the "wan optimization" software has fairly deep knowledge of the protocols and can either spoof responses to avoid high round-trip-time delays or can cache data locally to avoid sending it over the wire. The knowledge behind doing this with proprietary protocols is usually not the sort of thing which people give away for free. The only thing in ports approaching this is for HTTP (squid). > Using ssh with -C flag? This might help for some protocols if your lines are slow. You'll want to make sure you disable SSL/TLS/etc in the application protocol, compression isn't going to help encrypted data. Depends on the application but you might do better with remote desktop connections rather than running sql remotely.
