Lempel-Ziv-Oberhumer: A Critical Evaluation of Lossless Algorithm and Its Applications

Data compression is back bone of network traffic in data communication applications. It not only helps in efficient utilization of the resources but also provides a seamless experience to the end user. This paper reviews an algorithm technique which even though adds one extra layer of processing but still able to achieve desired compression for multitude of formats. In terms of real life scenario where practically every object is serialized in online universe, it will not add extra processing for small chunk of data packets.
