Abstract
A method, a system, and a non-transitory storage medium provides to receive multicast protocol packets, wherein each of the multicast protocol packets includes one of a slice of program data of a Moving Picture Experts Group (MPEG) Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) (MPEG-DASH) segment and a header of the slice that indicates sequence information of the slice relative to other slices, or forward error correction data; order, in response to the receipt of the multicast protocol packets, each slice received based on the sequence information; determine whether any slice is missing that is a part of the MPEG-DASH segment; determine, in response to a determination that there are missing slices, whether the missing slices can be recovered; and use, in response to a determination that the missing slices can be recovered, the forward error correction data to recover the missing slices.
