RTCInboundRtpStreamStats: fecPacketsDiscarded property

Baseline Widely available

This feature is well established and works across many devices and browser versions. It’s been available across browsers since October 2022.

The fecPacketsDiscarded property of the RTCInboundRtpStreamStats dictionary is a numeric value indicating the number of RTP Forward Error Correction (FEC) packets that have been discarded.

Value

An unsigned integer value indicating how many FEC packets have been received whose error correction payload has been discarded.

This can happen if all the packets covered by the FEC packet have already been received or recovered using another FEC packet, or if the FEC packet arrived outside the recovery window and the lost RTP packets have already been skipped during playback as a result. The value of fecPacketsReceived includes these discarded packets.
