Abstract
In some embodiments, a method comprises: transmitting first data units from a source node to a destination node over a first path; receiving information about the availability of one or more second paths between the source and destination nodes; determining a cost associated with each of the one or more second paths; allocating a first number of second data units to the first path and a second number of second data units to the one or more second paths based on the determined costs; and transmitting the second data units from the source node to the destination node over the first path and/or the one or more second paths according to the allocation, wherein the first data units, the second data units, or both the first and second data units comprise network coded data.
