Window Sizing for Zstandard Content Encoding

Metadata

Publisher: IETF
Doc Type: Informational
Pages: 4
Abstract: Deployments of Zstandard, or "zstd", can use different window sizes to limit memory usage during compression and decompression. Some browsers and user agents limit window sizes to mitigate memory usage concerns, thereby causing interoperability issues. This document updates the window size limit in RFC 8878 from a recommendation to a requirement in HTTP contexts.
