@Steph: During the testing phase the compression/encoding can only be enabled by the server, otherwise we might get into trouble if something does not work as expected. Later we should have some configuration option for each station where the user can decide between "traffic saving", "standard" and "whole signals". The server will try to respect this decision unless there are no important (temporarily) reasons for a different method.
Regarding compression: We have almost only binary data and no repetitions and stream compression is not very efficient with such data. It's nice to have this compression, but it's not that important. The current solution is extremely simple and so far it seems to work well.
