In addition to erasure codes:
TCP provides /reliable/ transport.
In the general case, you neither know your corruption ratio nor your
drop ratio. So you cannot really determine a necessary "code strength",
as you cannot predict the necessary attempts of retransmissions.
The game erasure codes vs. retransmissions seems like running in a
vicious circle to me.
