Abstract
A method, apparatus and computer program product for providing rapid information dissemination using network coding is presented. A coded message including a payload and a code vector, is transmitted from a first node of the network to a second node of the network. The information thus stored can also be retrieved by collecting code vectors from at least one node and viewing the collected code vectors as a matrix. A determination is made regarding whether a dimension of the matrix is equal to a predefined number. When the dimension of the matrix equals the predefined number, the information is retrieved using the collection of code vectors in the matrix.
