The idea was to incorporate STUN (which already fits quite nicely into DistribuStream's state machine as far as the "tracker" side of things goes) and use adaptive FEC in lieu of the ARQ mechanism used by TCP. However in my limited testing I found out there was relatively little benefit to using FEC over ARQ, and that such techniques would require some hybrid FEC/ARQ model anyway (I found an attempt at doing this called "SHARQFEC") Anyway, since this is out there I'd really love to use it... pity it's proprietary (at least for the time being) -- Tony Arcieri medioh.com
