7 description: This code, based on zfec by Zooko, based on code by Luigi
8 Rizzo implements an erasure code, or forward error
9 correction code. The most widely known example of an erasure
10 code is the RAID-5 algorithm which makes it so that in the
11 event of the loss of any one hard drive, the stored data can
12 be completely recovered. The algorithm in the zfec package
13 has a similar effect, but instead of recovering from the loss
14 of only a single element, it can be parameterized to choose in
15 advance the number of elements whose loss it can tolerate.
