A method for data communication between a first node and a second node includes forming one or more redundancy messages from data messages at the first node using an error correcting code and transmitting first messages from the first node to the second node over a data path, the transmitted first messages including the data messages and the one or more redundancy messages. Second messages are received at the first node from the second node, which are indicative of: (i) a rate of arrival at the second node of the first messages, and (ii) successful and unsuccessful delivery of the first messages. A transmission rate limit and a window size are maintained according to the received second messages. Transmission of additional messages from the first node to the second node is limited according to the maintained transmission rate limit and window size.

A method for transmitting a packet for N data streams in a communication system is provided. The method includes dividing each of the data streams into data payloads and adding a header for discriminating between the N data streams to each of the data payloads, determining, from the source packet flow, an FEC source formed by source packets generated from an (NM) number of data streams, distinguishing at least one source packet block, generating a source symbol block from the at least one distinguished source packet block, generating a repair symbol block formed by at least one repair symbol, determining a repair flow ID for identifying a repair flow formed by the repair symbols generated from the FEC source packet flow, generating an FEC repair packet by adding a header to each of the repair symbols of the repair flow, and transmitting the source packet and the FEC repair packet.

A method for data communication between a first node and a second node over a data path includes forming one or more redundancy messages from data messages at the first node using an error correcting code and transmitting messages from the first node to the second node. The transmitted first messages include the data messages and the redundancy messages. The method includes, receiving, at the first node, second messages indicative of a rate of arrival at the second node of the messages transmitted from the first node, and of successful and unsuccessful delivery of the first messages transmitted from the first node to the second node. A first transmission limit and a second transmission limit are maintained according to the received second messages. Transmission of additional messages from the first node to the second node is limited according to the first and the second transmission limits.
