An algorithm of application layer multicast base on linear network coding

This paper proposes an algorithm of application layer multicast based on linear network coding - MNC. A minimum cost algorithm is used when the network topology is established. Source and intermediate nodes code based on linear mechanism, sink node decodes from the disordered and losing message to restore original date, which raises the credibility of the network. We extend the NS and the simulation results show that the MNC algorithm is effective. The throughput is very close to the theoretically most throughput. In the case of code-delay ratio increase is not very significant when the message is not very large.
