# Enable Link Compression
|
|
|
|
The `rippled` server can save bandwidth by compressing its [peer-to-peer communications](../../../concepts/networks-and-servers/peer-protocol.md), 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.
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
$ vim /etc/opt/ripple/rippled.cfg
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
{% partial file="/_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.
