FEC is a technique used to control and correct errors in data transmission by sending redundant data across the VPN. Just found this video demonstration, pretty solid results it seems.

On FortiGate A, apply the FEC mappings on vd1-p1: The FEC base and redundant values are used when the link quality has not exceeded the limits specified in the FEC profile mapping. The tunnel is an SD-WAN zone, and an SLA health-check is used to monitor the quality of the VPN overlay. Configure FEC on each VPN interface to lower packet loss ratio by re-transmitting the packets using its backend algorithm. For every fec-base number of sent packets, the tunnel will send fec-redundant number of redundant packets. REGISTER. It does this by introducing redundant data, called error correcting code, prior to data transmission or storage. I would like to see that is actually is working. Technical Tip: changes in Forward Error Correct (F Technical Tip: changes in Forward Error Correct (FEC) settings. This technique is known as the Forward Error Correction technique. Adaptive FEC considers link conditions and dynamically adjusts the FEC packet ratio: The FEC base and redundant packet relationship is dynamically adjusted based on changes to the network SLA metrics defined in the SD-WAN SLA health checks. 10-29-2019 Connecting FortiExplorer to a FortiGate via WiFi, Zero touch provisioning with FortiManager, Viewing device dashboards in the security fabric,
