Claim 0:
1. A method comprising:
performing a negotiation between a first endpoint that stores data using a first extent size and a second endpoint that stores data using a second extent size to negotiate a compression algorithm;
in response to successfully negotiating the compression algorithm, compressing first data using the compression algorithm to create compressed first data at the first endpoint; and
transmitting the compressed first data from the first endpoint to the second endpoint for storage at the second endpoint according to the second extent size, wherein the second endpoint decompresses the compressed first data to create uncompressed first data that is recompressed by the second endpoint using a different compression algorithm to create recompressed first data stored according to the second extent size at the second endpoint.
