Abstract
An intelligent forward error correction (iFEC) method and system are automatically triggered and started for providing forward error correction for applications when packet loss is predicted to be more than a threshold packet loss level during a prescribed interval and the actual packet loss is more than a threshold level. Similarly, the intelligent FEC method and system may be automatically disabled when packet loss is predicted to be less than the threshold level during a prescribed interval. If prescribed bandwidth of a transmission uplink through which application data packets will pass will be slowed or choked by use of iFEC, then iFEC may be disabled or stopped to prevent further congestion in the uplink. That is, according to examples, iFEC is started and stopped based on predicted packet loss and uplink/bandwidth health as opposed to simply operating forward error correction in a 'always on' or manually provisioned manner.
