MCCP
From Free net encyclopedia
In computing, MCCP (Mud Client Compression Protocol) is a network protocol that is used in text MUDs for data compression.
Specifically, MCCP is used to compress the output text stream sent by a MUD to a MUD client using zlib, in order to reduce bandwidth usage, resulting in a faster connection. In order for MCCP to be used, it must be implemented on the serverside as well as the clientside, and negotiated during the connection using the Telnet protocol.
