  • Abstract
    In this paper, we investigate the effect of providing error correction capability (Forward Error Correction) in IP packet header. Our simulation result shows that FEC in IP header reduces the number of retransmission significantly, and having FEC in both header and payload improves the Bit Error Rate performance even further compared to without FEC in which we obtained BER performance improvement over 2dB at 10-4.
