Summary:Embodiments are directed to transmitting network coding (NC) traffic in heterogeneous networks having both NC and non-NC nodes. A non-NC node, upon receiving the first NC encoded packet will return an error in acknowledgement to the source NC node. The source NC node maintains a table of directly neighbor nodes that indicates whether or not NC is supported. The source NC node decodes the packet for any non-NC destination node and sends the encoded packet to NC nodes per the table. For a non-NC node in the network, the source NC node will send an encoded packet and based on an acknowledgement, the table entry for that node is updated. If NC is supported, the source sends the encoded packet, otherwise it sends the decoded packet.
