Hi,
I would like to know if the ASA 5520 BUN K9 supports the data compression on VPN IPsec.
Thank you in advance for your replies

Yes, data compression is only supported on Remote Access VPN IPSec (IKEv1).

I would also add here is that we suggest not to use IPsec's built in compression module.
Compression in IPsec was designed for different times (low bandwidth, high latency links).
Enabling compression on hosts can result in added delay (because of recirculation) and higher CPU, without almost no added benefit.
If you're intested in make transfer rates faster over VPN I would investigate other options - WAAS mobile for example.
