Application level error recovery using active network nodes

This paper proposes the use of active networking technology for error correction with application level error recovery code. The focus of this paper lies on real-time video transmission supported by active network nodes. Experiments with a prototype model show a considerable improvement with respect to video quality, error correction time and bandwidth usage.
