Coding for Information Networks

In traditional networks, packets are treated as units of information and the main delivery paradigm is routing these information units from sources to destinations. With the invention of Network Coding, by mixing the contents of different packets (i.e., coding), great performance improvements in terms of throughput, delay, and security has been observed. The paradigm of network coding (i.e., mixing packets) has recently penetrated into other fields, such as in content delivery networks (CDNs)...
