Annotation: A model of a transport connection controlled by a transport protocol with the technology of forward error correction in the selective failure mode in the form of a discrete-time Markov chain is proposed. The model takes into account the influence of the protocol parameters, the level of errors in the communication channels, the round-trip delay and the technological parameters of forward error correction on the throughput of the transport connection. The analysis of the dependence of the advantages of the transport protocol with forward error correction over the classical transport protocol is carried out.
