Abstract
In 2000, the concept of network coding was introduced by Ahlswede et al. and it lead to paradigm changes on several layers. On the physical layer, it changed the way how interference is handled. Interference is now rather exploited than avoided or canceled. On the network and transport layer, it changed the way how packets are forwarded. Instead of separate packets, combinations of packets flow through the network. The concept of network coding was successfully applied to several research scenarios ranging from ad-hoc and sensor networks to peertopeer file sharing.
