Is the data compressed before passing through the network?

Precisions

The distribution of processing on different and remote hardware imposes transfer mechanisms which can be both frequent and bulky. The environmental gains on these points can be processed by reducing the volume of data exchanged. Data compressions require computational resources which can make these operations inefficient or penalizing.
