Comment on Finite Field Arithmetic and Reed-Solomon Coding

Comments

This article is great---but would anyone like to recommend a good reference to implementing Reed-Solomon (and other FEC schemes?) that includes decoding?

I find James Plank's tutorials and accompanying code very good:

http://web.eecs.utk.edu/~plank/plank/papers/CS-07-593/

And if you want an excellent description of how Reed-Solomon coding is efficiently implemented in Linux, try this:
