Required parameters: none
Note that [3] mandates that RTP payload formats without a

error correction [1] does not specify a rate parameter.
However, the rate for FEC data is equal to the rate of the

Optional parameters: none
Typical optional parameters [3], such as the number of
channels, and the duration of audio per packet, do not
apply to FEC data. The number of channels is effectively
the same as the media data it protects; the same is true
for the duration of application data per packet.
