Less bytes when transferring table

I'll admit up front that I'm not a network guy and still have trouble spelling TCP. That said, I'm trying to understand how the value in "bytes received via SQL*Net from dblink" would be less than the size of a table, pulled via a dblink from another database and server.
I've got a remote database ("remote_db"), that's sitting on Tru64, running 9.2.0.8, with a table (TEST_TABLE1_TB). This table was created with PCTFREE 0, has no empty blocks, is 19,950 MB in size, has 270,552,077 rows, has an average row length of 71, 538 extents, and 638,373 blocks (32KB block size for the db). The destination database is 10.2.0.4 running RHEL 4. The transfer is rather simple: truncate the local table, then run:
INSERT /*+ APPEND NOPARALLEL(a) */ INTO test_table1_tb AS SELECT * FROM test_table1_tb_at_remote_db_dbl;
If I check "bytes received via SQL*Net from dblink", it shows that 8,590 MB was transferred, which is 43% of the table's size. But this smaller number does match numbers from /proc/net/dev.
Is there something in Oracle Net that optimizes what is transferred, like doing some sort of compression?
Any help would be appreciated.
