Abstract: Methods and system are provided for communicating messages over limited bandwidth data links. The method generally comprises taking a message that comprises message objects, and converting the message into a protocol stream by identifying message objects having corresponding translations in the dictionary. In one approach, the method comprises converting each identified message object into a message token, and associating each non-identified message object with a free symbol indicator (232) to generate a free symbol segment. The message tokens and the free symbol segments are then concatenated to generate a protocol stream that is sent over the limited bandwidth data link.
