REDUCING A NUMBER OF DATA PACKETS TO INCREASE A NUMBER OF ERROR CORRECTING PACKETS

摘要

Data packet processing is described. A set of first data packets (24) is accessed. A number of the first data packets (26) are identified as candidate data packets to be potentially transmitted over a network to a receiver. The number of candidate data packets is then reduced so that a number of second data packets (28) comprising error correction information for one or more of the first data packets can be increased.
