No, SITE servers do not compress the content that it distributes to distribution points that are enabled for bandwidth control. Whereas site-to-site transfers potentially resend files that might already be present, only to be discarded by the destination site server, a site server SENDS only the files that a distribution point requires. With a lower volume of data to transfer, the DISADVANTAGES of high CPU processing to compress and decompress the data usually OUTWEIGH the advantages of compressing the data.
