Forward Error Correction. A system of error control for data
transmission, whereby the sender adds redundant data to its
messages, also known as an error-correcting code. This allows
the receiver to detect and correct errors without the need to ask
the sender for additional data. The advantages of forward error
correction are that a back-channel is not required and
retransmission of data can often be avoided.
