Reed Solomon Encoder
Provide forward error correction using Reed-Solomon erasure coding algorithms. Adds redundant repair symbols to data blocks, enabling recovery from packet losses. Configurable symbol count and repair ratio allow tuning between overhead cost and loss recovery capability. Essential for reliable data transmission over lossy networks, particularly effective against burst losses and suitable for real-time applications where retransmission delays are unacceptable.

| Field | Type | Optional | Description | Default Value |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Input | String | No | ||
| Output | String | No | ||
| Symbols | Int32 | No | The number of symbols in each encoding block. Larger number of symbols increases erasure correction capability but require more overhead and increase latency. | 10 |
| Repair | Int32 | No | The number of symbols used for erasure correction in each encoding block. Larger repair value increases erasure correction capability but also increases overhead. | 2 |
