Working Modes – Streamline Encapsulation

Streamline Encapsulation is available only in Ethernet IP Module V1/MPP-50
FW Ver. 1.7.# and later, and Ethernet IP Module V2/MPP-70 FW Ver. 2.2.# and
later.

The Comtech Streamline Encapsulation method was developed to provide a low overhead method
of transporting any size packetized data. It provides superior performance on small packets and
performs well on large packets, with overhead performance approaching 1%. With respect to
HDLC, Comtech Streamline Encapsulation outperforms the longtime industry standard on all
packet sizes.
