Patch for zstd support on 9,2p
Dear OpenSSH developers,
PLEASE add support of ZSTD compression!
ZSTD seems "better" than ZLIB: it achieves a better compression ratio
for X11 traffic at a lower CPU usage, allowing use of "ssh -X" when
ZLIB
would "fail" (being unresponsive). ZSTD seems to be available for most
Linux distributions; I do not know about Windows or Mac or other
operating systems.
The patches attached (against version 9.2p as distributed by Debian)
are
essentially a copy those of Sebastian Andrzej Siewior in
https://lists.mindrot.org/pipermail/openssh-unix-dev/2023-February/040592.html
https://lists.mindrot.org/pipermail/openssh-unix-dev/2023-February/040593.html
These patches have been in active (heavy) use on my machines since
end of 2023, without any issues.
These patches are fully backwards compatible with un-patched remote
ends. When both client and server are patched, one can use "ssh -C" or
"ssh -o Compression=yes" to get ZSTD, picked as best by negotiation; or
use "ssh -o Compression=zlib" or "ssh -o Compression=zstd" to get that.
When either the client or server are un-patched, using "ssh -C" or "ssh
-o Compression=yes" gets ZLIB, as it always did.
Thanks, Paul
