Hence the CSLIP. CSLIP won't improve your throughput much as compared with SLIP, but it will help a lot with interactive responsiveness. CSLIP uses the clever techniques described in RFC-1144 to reduce the size of the TCP header, and its contribution to the protocol overhead cost of each packet that must traverse the link. The TCP header comprises a very large fraction of a typical single-data-character interactive telnet packet, but it's a relatively smaller part of a typical large FTP packet. So the effect on throughput won't be as dramatic as the effect on perceived interactive latency. If you're hoping for a big throughput jump, you may be disappointed with the degree of improvement that results from all the work you're expending.
