[Openvpn-devel] [PATCH 1/2] Implement LZ4 compression.

2014-01-01 Thread Gert Doering
Implement LZ4 compression, similar to the existing snappy / push-peer-info model: a LZ4 capable client will send IV_LZ4=1 to the server, and the algorithm is selected by pushing "compress lz4" back. LZ4 does not compress as well as LZO or Snappy, but needs far less CPU and is much faster, thus
