A new erasure resilient technique for encoding internet packets. Efficient internet communication tolerates losing some packets sent across the web by sending a bit more information than is required. Any holes in the transmission can be repaired using the redundant data. We propose a new transmission protocol that is much simpler to encode and repairs broken messages faster. This new approach, based on sending data plus summed versions of itself, has generic applicability across all packet switc ....A new erasure resilient technique for encoding internet packets.
