Tetrys, an On-the-Fly Network Coding protocol

This document describes Tetrys, an On-The-Fly Network Coding (NC) protocol that can be used to transport delay and loss sensitive data over a lossy network. Tetrys can recover from erasures within a RTT- independent delay, thanks to the transmission of coded packets. It can be used for both unicast, multicast and anycast communications.
