Taxonomy of Coding Techniques for Efficient Network Communications
RFC 8406, “Taxonomy of Coding Techniques for Efficient Network Communications”, is an Informational document published in June 2018 by B. Adamson, C. Adjih, J. Bilbao, V. Firoiu, F. Fitzek, S. Ghanem, E. Lochin, A. Masucci, M-J. Montpetit, M. Pedersen, G. Peralta, V. Roca, P. Saxena, S. Sivakumar. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
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.
What “Informational” means
Published for the general information of the community. It does not define an IETF standard and carries no standards-track status.
