I dont quite understand the question here... One cant unilaterally compress, or otherwise modify data. It has to be part of the protocol implemented by both ends. For HTTP such a protocol exists and is implemented in the http profile.

 

 

One could also was WAN acceleration features of the BIGIP, but that requires two BIGIPs, one on each "end", or client side software to run on the "desktops"...
