Claim 14:
15. A computing device comprising:
a memory containing machine executable code; and
a processor coupled to the memory, the processor configured to execute the machine executable code to cause the processor to:
perform 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 unsuccessfully negotiating the compression algorithm transmitting first data in an uncompressed state from the first endpoint to the second endpoint for storage at the second endpoint according to the second extent size;
in response to successfully negotiating the compression algorithm, compress the first data using the compression algorithm to create compressed first data at the first endpoint and transmit the compressed first data from the first endpoint to the second endpoint for storage at the second endpoint according to the second extent size.
