Taxonomy of Coding Techniques for Efficient Network Communications
Abstract
This document summarizes recommended terminology for Network Coding
concepts and constructs. It provides a comprehensive set of terms in
order to avoid ambiguities in future IRTF and IETF documents on
Network Coding. This document is the product of the Coding for
Efficient Network Communications Research Group (NWCRG), and it is in
line with the terminology used by the RFCs produced by the Reliable
Multicast Transport (RMT) and FEC Framework (FECFRAME) IETF working
groups.
