OpenFEC is a library that provides Application-Level Forward Erasure Correction (AL-FEC) codes, also known as Upper-Layers FEC (UL-FEC). The core purpose is to add redundancy to data in order to recover from erasures during transmission without requiring retransmission. This port is of the actively maintained fork by the roc-streaming project.

OpenFEC is a library that provides Application-Level Forward Erasure
|
|
Correction (AL-FEC) codes, also known as Upper-Layers FEC (UL-FEC). The
|
|
core purpose is to add redundancy to data in order to recover from
|
|
erasures during transmission without requiring retransmission.
|
|
Implemented as high-performance C-language software codecs, OpenFEC
|
|
provides IPR-free, open AL-FEC codes positioned in the communication
|
|
stack for robust transmission and distributed storage applications.
|
|
|
|
The library serves as a platform for developers and researchers who need
|
|
to integrate forward error correction capabilities into their
|
|
applications, offering ready-to-use codecs, performance evaluation
|
|
environments, and documentation. It's designed for applications where
|
|
data loss during transmission needs to be recovered automatically,
|
|
making it suitable for reliable communication systems, streaming
|
|
applications, and distributed storage solutions where retransmission is
|
|
not feasible.

This package is a fork by the roc-streaming project with additional
|

bugfixes. The original project is hosted at https://openfec.inrialpes.fr
