Claim 15:
16. One or more non-transitory computer-readable media storing computer-executable instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, configure a computing device to perform acts comprising:
receiving input data;
determining whether, for a byte of the input data, a first value of the byte is distinct from other values in a first-instance array;
based at least in part on the first value of the byte being distinct from other values in the first-instance array:
adding the byte to the first-instance array; and
adding a bit of a second value to an address-bit array; or

based at least in part on the first value of the byte not being distinct from other values in the first-instance array:
adding an index value to an index array, wherein the index value indicates a location of the first value of the byte in the first-instance array; and
adding a bit of a third value to the address-bit array;

confirming that a first volume of a combined data of the first-instance array, the index array, and the address-bit array is less than a second volume of the input data; and
transmitting the combined data from a first node in a network to a second node in the network.
