| Description | This object specifies the initial number of FEC redundancy
bytes the ATU-R appends to upstream frames transmitted over
the fast channel during the training sequence. The ATU-C can
force the ATU-R to fallback from this value depending on the
aggregate data rate achieved during training.
It is desirable to choose a large FEC size, thereby increasing
the chance of being able to correct errors in the data delivered
by a frame. However, additional FEC redundancy bytes increases
frame overhead, and thus frame latency. |
