Summary:Methods and apparatus relating to network packet payload compression/decompression are described. In an embodiment, an uncompressed packet payload may be compressed before being transferred between various components of a computing system. For example, a packet payload may be compressed prior to transfer between network interface cards or controllers (NICs) and storage devices (e.g., including a main system memory and/or cache(s)), as well as between processors (or processor cores) and storage devices (e.g., including main system memory and/or caches). Other embodiments are also disclosed.
