+It does support both TCP/IP header compression according to RFC1144 and

+The LLC implementation does support LLC encryption with ciphers GEA3 and GEA4.
+For encryption to work the auth policy needs to be set to remote and the SGSN
+connected to an HLR containing the subscriber data including key material.
+Other auth policys will not work with encryption.
