FEC transmission processing apparatus and method and program recording medium

An FEC transmission processing method comprising:

• connecting to a media packet generator that generates media packets;
• acquiring the media packets from the media packet generator successively;
• transmitting the media packets to a media packet reception processing apparatus that receives and processes the media packets over a network;
• carrying out FEC calculation processing using media packets acquired within a first period of a predetermined time length after a first media packet is acquired to thereby generate a plurality of FEC packets, the FEC packets being used for the media packet reception processing apparatus to recover a lost media packet and the first media packet being a media packet acquired first among the media packets subjected to the FEC calculation processing;
• and
• transmitting the FEC packets to the media packet reception processing apparatus in a second period of the predetermined time length after the first time period passes.

A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a computer program for causing a computer to execute instructions to perform:

• connecting to a media packet generator that generates media packets;
• acquiring the media packets from the media packet generator successively;
• transmitting the media packets to a media packet reception processing apparatus that receives and processes the media packets over a network;
• carrying out FEC calculation processing using media packets acquired within a first period of a predetermined time length after a first media packet is acquired to thereby generate a plurality of FEC packets, the FEC packets being used for the media packet reception processing apparatus to recover a lost media packet and the first media packet being a media packet acquired first among the media packets subjected to the FEC calculation processing;
• and
• transmitting the FEC packets to the media packet reception processing apparatus in a second period of the predetermined time length after the first time period passes.
