I have never been a really big fan of trying to compress traffic on one
side of a link and decompress it on the other side.
Something else to consider is what you are trying to optimize. Are you
trying to get more bandwidth, or better latency, or what. If you are
dealing with lots of long distance links, you may want to look in to
playing with TCP window size(s) so that you can have more data in
transit at one time with out pausing for acknowledgments.
I would recommend that you use QoS to make sure that your priority
traffic is put through first and that the rest is shared as evenly as
possible or as you want it to be.
Proxies, local replicating file servers, local store and forward email
servers that can directly route messages, are all good things.
With out knowing more about your configuration, I can't offer much more
than general things to look at.
