Abstract
Techniques are described for performing conditional forward error correction (FEC) of network data. The techniques and solutions can be applied to suppress the transmission of redundant forward error correction information for data (e.g., frames of audio and/or video data) that can be effectively recovered at the receiving device (e.g., at the decoder). For example, a first computing device that is encoding and transmitting data (e.g., encoded audio data) to a second computing device can determine whether portions of data can be predicted (e.g., to a certain quality measure) at the second computing device. If the portions of data can be predicted, then the first computing device can skip sending redundant copies of the portions of data (e.g., can skip sending forward error correction information) in current network packets.
