Hi,

just a few questions on the forward error correction feature. Some months ago I had a brief look at the FEC feature of Silk, which was a simple add to the codec. However, only these days I came to think about it.

1) The support of FEC in Opus, is it support in all coding modes or only in the Silk mode?
2) Does it provide features that is not already covered by IETF FEC schemes like the "FEC Framework" or AVT RFC 5109??
3) If it has nothing new, why not to skip it?
