Abstract

Sending padding data is disclosed. Uncompressed communication data in a first data grouping is prepared using a data compression algorithm. A header of the first data grouping identifies that the first data grouping includes uncompressed contents. A second data grouping is selected. The second data grouping includes compressed padding data configured to fill a buffer of a receiver to at least a predetermined size. The first data grouping and the second data grouping are sent.
