Is there a way to compress it on the node side?

 

 

Doug, With compression, you're compressing the responses to requests. Since your servers won't be initiating requests and therefore won't be receiving responses, there's really nothing to compress. If you want to optimize connections between the F5 and servers, you can look into multiplexing using OneConnect...what exactly are you trying to accomplish?
