Available on TS/RTP/UDP/IPv4
Mode CBR only
FEC correction max input bit rate = 1.4 Gbps (including FEC
session bit rate)
FEC generation max output bit rate (including FEC session
b
it rate) around 900 Mbps. The limit bit rate may vary if the
n
umber of TS packets per datagram is under 7.
Interleaving mode supported only on 2D matrices
Redundant TS inputs shall have the same mode (byte/packet, ASI only)
and the same size (188/204). The bitrates may be different.
