Abstract
In one embodiment, a device in a network identifies delay requirements of each of a plurality of media streams. The device selects a joint forward error correction (FEC) encoding strategy for the plurality of media streams based on the identified delay requirements of the streams and on a burst loss length of a communication channel. The device applies the selected joint FEC encoding strategy to the plurality of media streams, to form a multiplexed packet stream. The device sends the multiplexed packet stream to one or more nodes in the network via the communication channel.
