Abstract
Techniques for transferring data among nodes on a network are disclosed. Some example methods include a downloader-initiated random linear network coding algorithm. A downloading node may be aware of the chunks of original data held by neighboring nodes, and the downloading node can request linear combinations of chunks from the neighboring nodes that are linearly independent of any linear combinations of chunks already held by the downloading node.
