1. A method comprising:
determining a threshold packet loss at which forward error correction is triggered;
predicting a packet loss for a FEC-configured application during a prescribed interval;
monitoring a packet loss for the FEC-configured application; and
in response to determining a predicted packet loss for the FEC-configured application is above the threshold packet loss and actual packet loss for the FEC-configured application is above the threshold packet loss, automatically starting forward error correction for the FEC-configured application.
