Abstract

Dissemination information from many sources to many receivers can be fundamental in different systems. However, the components of these system may present some failure type both the software and hardware. In addition, problems related to the communication networks such as limited bandwidth or packet loss should be present. The information dispersal algorithm (IDA) has been used as a good solution to offer fault tolerance. On the other hand, network coding is a coding method mainly used to increase throughput of a communication channel, which is useful to face the limited bandwidth in the communication networks. In this paper, we integrate both methods into a content distribution scheme. We use a hybrid peer-to-peer (P2P) network based on TCP in order to evaluate the performance of IDA and network coding in a joint operation.
