Forward-error correction (FEC) is used in many streaming applications for protecting multimedia data over lossy network paths. However, studies in the literature [1, 3, 4] report conflicting results on the benefits of FEC. To address this uncertainty, we study the performance of FEC-based streaming and provide additional insight into how FEC overhead rate affects the performance of scalable video streaming under dynamically changing network packet loss. Through analytical investigation, we derive the relationship between packet loss, FEC overhead, and utility of received video, and propose a simple control mechanism that adjusts the amount of FEC based on packet loss information. We find that our FEC control allows the application to maintain high end-user utility and achieve better quality of video at the receiver.
