Reminds me of Forward Error Correction [1], a technique used by Satellite providers and even WAN optimization vendors like Silver Peak to "erase" packet loss events by injecting parity packets into the flow, which can be used to rebuild lost packets at the receiving end if needed. This prevents TCP synchronization, aka the throughput see-saw described in the article. This problem isn't limited to high latency / satellite links but exists on any path with packet loss, like your internet connection, or even MPLS.
