Dear Dr. Ma,

Thank you for submitting your manuscript to PLOS ONE. After careful consideration, we feel that it has merit but does not fully meet PLOS ONE’s publication criteria as it currently stands. Therefore, we invite you to submit a revised version of the manuscript that addresses the points raised during the review process.

The reviewers request the authors to describe the model more detailed and accurate. Also, the writing should be improved, including the title, the Abstract, the Introduction, the Method, etc.

Please submit your revised manuscript by Jul 02 2025 11:59PM. If you will need more time than this to complete your revisions, please reply to this message or contact the journal office at plosone@plos.org . When you're ready to submit your revision, log on to https://www.editorialmanager.com/pone/ and select the 'Submissions Needing Revision' folder to locate your manuscript file.

• A rebuttal letter that responds to each point raised by the academic editor and reviewer(s). You should upload this letter as a separate file labeled 'Response to Reviewers'.
• A marked-up copy of your manuscript that highlights changes made to the original version. You should upload this as a separate file labeled 'Revised Manuscript with Track Changes'.
• An unmarked version of your revised paper without tracked changes. You should upload this as a separate file labeled 'Manuscript'.

If applicable, we recommend that you deposit your laboratory protocols in protocols.io to enhance the reproducibility of your results. Protocols.io assigns your protocol its own identifier (DOI) so that it can be cited independently in the future. For instructions see: https://journals.plos.org/plosone/s/submission-guidelines#loc-laboratory-protocols . Additionally, PLOS ONE offers an option for publishing peer-reviewed Lab Protocol articles, which describe protocols hosted on protocols.io. Read more information on sharing protocols at https://plos.org/protocols?utm_medium=editorial-email&utm_source=authorletters&utm_campaign=protocols .

We look forward to receiving your revised manuscript.

Kind regards,

Reviewer #1: My Recommendation is Minor Revision

(

The paper is interesting and well-written; however, these are my comments:

1. The title is too long and must be no abbreviation.

2. The ABSTRACT is not enough for general problem.

3. Keywords are also not enough.

4. The INTRODUCTION and related work are great but if add some comparison it will be better

5. There are some issues with the template used, as there are many unnecessarily spaced lines, which I believe are technical and can be fixed.

6. The METHODS is crucial part in the paper from what I saw wondaful and just equation and some figures need more explanation.

7. Some of Algorithms and dataset must be clarify.

)

Reviewer #2: The article was reviewed under the title "A lightweight intelligent compression method for fast SLA data transmission".

Overall, the focus of the study is good. However, I would like to offer several recommendations that authors may find useful in the process of revising their manuscript:

1- For better understanding of the readers, it is better to explain Table 1 in more detail.

2- Table 4, which is intended for performance parameters, is empty and no data is listed in it.

3- Some sources are so old that newer sources need to be used for citation.

4- Section 3.1 states the following for the screening mechanism:” That is, if the number of null values in a single data grid exceeded 15%, the data were abandoned.”

What criteria is the threshold based on?
