Forward Error Correction for WAN optimization

  • 772

Anyone know of user-space tools providing forward error correction with/for tunnelling a stream over UDP on Linux?

I found Trafficsqueezer, utunnel and toutunnel which implement TCP over UDP, but none seem to provide Forward Error Control.

(for the benefit of those browsing through these questions, not familiar with WAN optimization: Limit on Bandwidth = MSS/(RTT*SQRT(p)) where SQRT(p) is the square root of the packet loss)

    UDPSpeeder

    One that showed up on HN recently was UDPSpeeder and may have what you were looking for. UDPSpeeder implements FEC. Apologies for answering several years late.
