Abstract
A system for error correction processing includes methods, software and/or devices for generating and using correction packets that may provide for the rebuilding of a lost data packet or other information packet. A correction packet may be generated at a transmitting device that corresponds to a plurality of packets transmitted to a destination device. The correction packet may be transmitted to the destination device separately from the transmitting of the plurality of packets. The correction packet may be received at the destination device, and a determination may be made as to whether at least one of the plurality of packets transmitted to the destination device is a lost packet that has not been received at the destination device. If the lost packet of the plurality of packets is determined, the lost packet may be rebuilt using the correction packet.
