mDuo13 7645140477 Re-levelization: move non-docs content, rename content→docs
For better URLs, the content folder has been renamed 'docs' and all
other files have been moved up a level. Also, non-docs images have been
moved to the static folder at the top level where they belong.

Many relative paths had to be fixed to make this work.

Enable Link Compression

The rippled server can save bandwidth by compressing its peer-to-peer communications, at a cost of greater CPU usage. If you enable link compression, the server automatically compresses communications with peer servers that also have link compression enabled.

Steps

To enable link compression on your server, complete the following steps:

1. Edit your rippled server's config file.

$ vim /etc/opt/ripple/rippled.cfg

{% partial file="/docs/_snippets/conf-file-location.md" /%}

2. In the config file, add or uncomment the [compression] stanza.

To enable compression:

[compression]
true

Use false to disable compression (the default).

3. Restart the rippled server

$ sudo systemctl restart rippled.service

After the restart, your server automatically uses link compression with other peers that also have link compression enabled.
