# Enable Link Compression
|
|
|
|
The `rippled` server can save bandwidth by compressing its [peer-to-peer communications](peer-protocol.html), 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. The server uses uncompressed communications with peers who do not have have link compression enabled or do not support link compression. [New in: rippled 1.6.0][]

|
|
## Steps
|
|
|
|
To enable link compression on your server, complete the following steps:
|
|
|
|
### 1. Edit your `rippled`'s config file.
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
$ vim /etc/opt/ripple/rippled.cfg
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
{% include '_snippets/conf-file-location.md' %}<!--_ -->
|
|
|
|
### 2. In the config file, add or uncomment the `[compression]` stanza.
|
|
|
|
To enable compression:
|
|
|
|
```text
|
|
[compression]
|
|
true
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Use `false` to disable compression (the default).
|
|
|
|
### 3. Restart the `rippled` server
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
$ sudo systemctl restart rippled.service
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
After the restart, your server automatically uses link compression with other peers that also have link compression enabled.
