Abstract
A method and system are provided for transferring data from a host computer to one or more subscriber computers, the data consisting of k original packets. The method includes the steps of encoding the k original packets to form n encoded packets, where n>k, transmitting the encoded packets from the host computer to the subscriber computers, receiving some of the transmitted packets, and decoding any combination of k correctly-received encoded packets to reconstruct the k original packets.
