Talk:Fountain code
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Regarding the practical considerations:
I am currently working on my implementation of Online Codes for Ruby (http://rubyforge.org/projects/archipelago/ contains a gem for that), and I am actually achieving an average overhead of about 8-10% for 2000 packets.
I admit that the speed of my implementation is far from good enough at the moment, but the data overhead is quite alright. Does anyone care to comment?
