Abstract
This study discusses Application-layer FEC using erasure codes. Because of the simple decoding process, erasure codes are used effectively in Application-layer FEC to deal with Packet-level errors. The large number of parity packets makes the loss rate to be small, but causes the network congestion to be worse. Thus, a redundancy control algorithm that can adjust the number of parity packets depending on network conditions is necessary. In addition, it is natural that high-priority frames such as I frames should produce more parity packets than low-priority frames such as P and B frames. In this paper, we propose a redundancy control algorithm that can adjust the amount of redundancy depending on the network conditions and depending on data priority, and test the performance in simple links and congestion links.
