Abstract
This paper introduces the Kodo network coding library. Kodo is an open source C++ library intended to be used in practical studies of network coding algorithms. The target users for the library are researchers working with or interested in network coding. To provide a research friendly library Kodo provides a number of algorithms and building blocks, with which new and experimental algorithms can be implemented and tested. In this paper we introduce potential users to the goals, the structure, and the use of the library. To demonstrate the use of the library we provide a number of simple programming examples. It is our hope that network coding practitioners will use Kodo as a starting point, and in time contribute by improving and extending the functionality of Kodo.
