Abstract
Majorly, the technique of store-and-forward is employed in networked systems for transmitting information through a network. However, the optimality of this approach was challenged by network coding theory. The network information flow problem has proved to be solved by network coding, as it optimizes the flow of data in a network in an effective way. Network coding can improve the throughput, robustness, and security of a network and has already been implemented at the physical layer, network layer, and is proposed at transport layer. In this paper, we have proposed a complete binary tree approach based on virtual channels for implementing network coding at data link layer. The simulation results have shown reduction in delay, number of transmissions, congestion in the network, and better utilization of bandwidth; thus, it has been shown that this approach led to significant improvements in the performance of a network by effectively utilizing the single channels as in case of link layer.
