Tetrys: An On-the-Fly Network Coding Protocol

Overview

RFC 9407, “Tetrys: An On-the-Fly Network Coding Protocol”, is an Experimental document published in June 2023 by J. Detchart, E. Lochin, J. Lacan, V. Roca. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.

Abstract

This document describes Tetrys, which is an on-the-fly network coding protocol that can be used to transport delay-sensitive and loss-sensitive data over a lossy network. Tetrys may recover from erasures within an RTT-independent delay thanks to the transmission of coded packets. This document is a record of the experience gained by the authors while developing and testing the Tetrys protocol in real conditions.

This document is a product of the Coding for Efficient NetWork Communications Research Group (NWCRG). It conforms to the NWCRG taxonomy described in RFC 8406.
