Answer:

Compression over ssh connection would increase network latency, using most of its bandwidth to crippling network efficiency.

Step-by-step explanation:

SSH is a protocol in computer networking used by administrators to manage a remote network. Various commands are run remotely with this connection. The compression command is enabled in the remote network with the -C option in the ssh configuration. Compression over ssh is only favorable over low bandwidth networks.
