See [SION File Defragmentation](Usage#sion-file-defragmentation). Note that you can still load the defragmented SION file into python, see [Linktest Python Reader](Linktest-Python-Reader), and it can still be used to generate reports, see [Linktest Report](Linktest-Report). After defragmentation the file can be further compressed using any non-lossy compression tools. The resultant compressed file can no longer be loaded into python and hence reports based on it cannot be generated unless the file is decompressed first.

They use the nearest multiple of 2 to the common Système International d'unités (SI), now known as metric prefixes, which have a base of 1000.
