A codec for what? recover from packet losses reduce added latency compared to “traditional” block codes e.g., Reed-Solomon, LDPC, Raptor(Q) sliding encoding window codes much better strong links with NWCRG and RLC I-D (TSVWG)
Hackathon goals 1- design a reference, open-source, free codec none available even if 3 commercial codecs exist facilitate tests and adoption 2- challenge our API I-D 3- also test our “FEC for dummies” document… first time IETF participant ;-)
Achievements fixed several issues in draft- roca - nwcrg -generic- fec - api I-D compilation/simplification/missing function laid out the github repository major progress on the encoder leave decoder and further improvements to future hackathons
