If we can guarantee that a TCP stream is in sequential order prior to it being compressed & decompressed we might be able to use a stream compression per TCP session.

This would require a method to verify that the IP packets for a session have all arrived so the sending appliance would need to cache them until the receiving appliance notifies the sending appliance they have been received. The receiving appliance would also need to notify the sending appliance when an IP packet is missing and needs re-transmitted.

This entire process would also be very useful for [feature-requests:#11]
