randomized network coding

Randomized network coding is a technique used to efficiently transmit data across computer networks. Instead of sending information as fixed, separate packets, nodes in the network combine multiple data packets by applying random mathematical operations before forwarding them. This approach increases the chances that all parts of the original data reach the destination accurately, even if some paths fail or data gets lost. It enhances network robustness and throughput by making the data flow more flexible and resilient, ensuring reliable communication with less reliance on strict routing and fewer retransmissions.
