MCCP


MCCP (the Mud Client Compression Protocol) reduces bandwidth used by MUD

servers.  Using an MCCP-compliant MUD client, data sent is compressed by

80-85%, both reducing the amount of data processed by the server and the

amount of data transmitted to the player, reducing lag.


War of Legend supports versions 1 and 2 of MCCP, and any client supporting

either version should be compatible.  Most clients enable compression

automatically, but some might require that you type 'compress' to toggle MCCP

on and off.


For details, see the MCCP homepage, http://www.randomly.org/projects/mccp/

 

Currently, the following mud clients support MCCP.


* Papaya

* Tkturf

* Mcl

* Amcl (cvs only)

* Kmud

* ZMud version 6+

* Mushclient


MCCP was created by Oliver Jowett.
