+### Network Compression
+
+Network compression will reduce bandwidth requirements between MongoDB and the application. 
+
+The Go Driver supports the following compression algorithms:
+
+1. [Snappy](https://google.github.io/snappy/) (`snappy`): available in MongoDB 3.4 and later.
+2. [Zlib](https://zlib.net/) (`zlib`): available in MongoDB 3.6 and later.
+3. [Zstandard](https://github.com/facebook/zstd/) (`zstd`): available in MongoDB 4.2 and later.
+
+#### Specify Compression Algorithms
+
+Compression can be enabled using the `compressors` parameter on the connection string or by using [`ClientOptions.SetCompressors`](https://pkg.go.dev/go.mongodb.org/mongo-driver/mongo/options#ClientOptions.SetCompressors):
+
+```
+opts := options.Client().ApplyURI("mongodb://localhost:27017/?compressors=snappy,zlib,zstd")
+client, _ := mongo.Connect(context.TODO(), opts)
+```
+
+```
+opts := options.Client().SetCompressors([]string{"snappy", "zlib", "zstd"})
+client, _ := mongo.Connect(context.TODO(), opts)
+```
+
+If compressors are set, the Go Driver negotiates with the server to select the first common compressor. For server configuration and defaults, refer to [`networkMessageCompressors`](https://www.mongodb.com/docs/manual/reference/program/mongod/#std-option-mongod.--networkMessageCompressors).
+
+Messages compress when both parties enable network compression; otherwise, messages remain uncompressed
