What causes the Badly Compressed Packet server error and how to avoid it?

After playing on a server for a long time, I was disconnected with this error message:

Internal Exception: io.netty.handler.codec.DecoderException: Badly compressed packet - size of 61 is below server threshold of 256

I have never seen this error before. I tried to connect to the server again and it gave me the standard Invalid Session. Restarting my game allowed me to reconnect. I am playing Vanilla 1.11, and I believe that the server had only a few plugins.

What caused this error, and how can I prevent it from happening again?

EDIT: This happened again on the same server with size of 5.
