Forward Erasure Correction (FEC) is a reliability mechanism that is
distinct and separate from the retransmission logic in reliable
transfer protocols such as TCP. FEC coding can help deal with losses
at the end of transfers or with networks having non-congestion
losses. However, FEC coding mechanisms should not hide congestion
signals. This memo offers a discussion of how FEC coding and
congestion control can coexist. Another objective is to encourage the
research community to also consider congestion control aspects when
proposing and comparing FEC coding solutions in communication
systems.
This document is the product of the Coding for Efficient Network
Communications Research Group (NWCRG). The scope of the document is
end-to-end communications; FEC coding for tunnels is out of the scope
of the document.
