Abstract
A method is provided for configuring an overall encoding scheme comprising a first encoding for generating first encoded packets from source packets and a second encoding for generating second encoded packets by combination of first encoded packets according to a combination scheme applied by predetermined nodes of the network. The method obtains a number N of defective paths among paths used to transmit the first and second encoded packets to at least one destination node, a path being defective if an associated quality of transmission is below a predetermined threshold. A combination scheme is selected from among at least two possible predetermined combination schemes for which a number of encoded second packets is greater than or equal to N.
