-While the bandwidth usage of XMPP isn't that much, compressing the data
-sent to/from your server can give significant benefits to those on slow
-connections, such as dial-up or mobile networks. Prosody supports
-compression for client-to-server (if your client supports it) and
-server-to-server streams using the mod\_compression plugin.
-
-# Details
-
-mod\_compression implements [XEP-0138], and supports the zlib compression
-algorithm.
-
-## Dependencies
-
-The XMPP protocol specifies that all clients and servers supporting
-compression must support the "zlib" compression method, and this is what
-Prosody uses. However you will need to install zlib support for Lua on
-your system. There are different ways of doing this depending on your
-system. If in doubt whether it is installed correctly, the command
-`lua -lzlib` in a console should open a Lua prompt with no errors.
-
-Debian/Ubuntu
-:   `apt-get install lua-zlib`
-
-LuaRocks
-:   `luarocks install lua-zlib`
-
-Source
-:   <https://github.com/brimworks/lua-zlib>
-
-# Usage
-
-``` lua
-modules_enabled = {
-    -- Other modules
-    "compression"; -- Enable mod_compression
-}
-```
-
-## Configuration
-
-The compression level can be set using the `compression_level` option
-which can be a number from 1 to 9. Higher compression levels will use
-more resources but less bandwidth.
-
-## Example
-
-``` lua
-modules_enabled = {
-    -- Other modules
-    "compression"; -- Enable mod_compression
-}

-compression_level = 5
-```
