* The phrase "difference between these distances" can either refer to the conceptual difference (i.e. they hae different semantic meaning) or to the mathematical difference (i.e. use substraction for the two). Instead, just remove the sentence since the equations below make it clear what we're supposed to do here. |

brotli
Brotli is a generic-purpose lossless compression algorithm that compresses data using a combination of a modern variant of the LZ77 algorithm, Huffman coding and 2nd order context modeling, with a compression ratio comparable to the best currently available general-purpose compression methods. It is similar in speed with deflate but offers more dense compression.
The specification of the Brotli Compressed Data Format is defined in the following internet draft: http://www.ietf.org/id/draft-alakuijala-brotli
