Some basic transfer based on UDP with forward error correction is a really good solution to tackle packet loss and avoid TCP congestion entirely.

- mcharawi 5y agoSo congestion and packet loss are different problems; it is true that forward error correction could be a good way to avoid retransmitting lost packets, but the only way to avoid congestion is to adjust the congestion window (for window based congestion control) or packet sending rate (for rate based congestion control) based on some indicator of congestion.
