How does forward error correction (FEC) allow the receiver to correct data errors?
Pick an answer to check it.
Answer: C. By transmitting redundant information with the data
Forward error correction transmits redundant information along with the data. The receiver uses that extra information to fix errors without asking for a retransmission.
Tip: FEC sends extra data to fix errors.
