1使用场景

1gateway网关

用户浏览器访问网页时，在gateway网关配置压缩，减少传输数据，加快网页打开速度。

2mesh内部

微服务相互通信时，特别是用了rest协议，即用http协议通信，配置压缩和解压，可以有效加快数据传输速度，减少网路延迟

这个很有用，比如如果我们的rpc协议是http，启用压缩就可以提高传输效率。

2实操

2.1网关配置压缩

kubectl apply -f ef-ingressgateway-http-filter-compression.yaml  -n istio-system

配置参数说明：

作用在http_filter上，type_url是固定的。response_direction_config对响应做配置，min_content_length最小启用压缩大小，content_type对哪些类型启用压缩。compressor_library压缩库配置，

window_bits：

窗口位大小，值从9到15，大的值会有更好的压缩，但内存消耗更大，默认是12，将产生4096字节窗口

compression_level

压缩级别，将影响压缩速度和压缩大小。BEST,高压缩，高延迟；SPEED低压缩，低延迟；DEFAULT优化的压缩，将介于BEST和SPEED之间。默认没设置是DEFAULT.

memory_level

内存级别，从1到9，控制压缩库内存的使用量，值越高内存用的多，但是更快，压缩结果更好。默认值是5.

compression_strategy:

DEFAULT , FILTERED , HUFFMAN , RLE

content_type:

默认值 “application/javascript”, “application/json”, “application/xhtml+xml”, “image/svg+xml”, “text/css”, “text/html”, “text/plain”, “text/xml”

没启用压缩前：

传输大小是4.6k

启用压缩后：

content-encoding为gzip，说明启用了gzip压缩

大小由4.6k降到了1.9k

2.1.2提高压缩参数
