Description: This paper evaluates the use of Forward Error Correction (FEC) schemes in distributed media streaming. We propose three different FEC schemes applicable to distributed streaming, and we build mathematical model to analyze the usable rate as well as the expected number of usable packets of these schemes. Our model is then verified using simulations. The schemes’ performance in packet loss burst length distribution is also studied using simulation. Our results show that to distribute packets in an FEC block across multiple senders is effective in mitigating the adverse effect caused by high loss rate and burstiness, hence improving the streaming quality. We also find that usually the best result is obtained by further distributing FEC packets across senders.
