In previous work (`Network coding meets TCP') we proposed a new protocol that interfaces network coding with TCP by means of a coding layer between TCP and IP. Unlike the usual batch-based coding schemes, the protocol uses a TCP-compatible sliding window code in combination with new rules for acknowledging bytes to TCP that take into account the network coding operations in the lower layer. The protocol was presented in a theoretical framework and considered only in conjunction with TCP Vegas. In this paper we present a real-world implementation of this protocol that addresses several important practical aspects of incorporating network coding and decoding with TCP's window management mechanism. Further, we work with the more widespread and practical TCP Reno. Our implementation significantly advances the goal of designing a deployable, general, TCP-compatible protocol that provides the benefits of network coding.
