An overlay network and scheme for building and using the overlay network are described. As the overlay network is built, new nodes joining the network are connected randomly with other nodes which results in a random graph as the network topology. The network is fully scalable, with each new node providing the same number of network connections for output to other nodes as it consumes when it joins the network. In addition, network coding is implemented at each node to mix packets of data entering each node using random linear functions. The network coding at each node generates new packets that are independent combinations of original data packets entering the node. The new coded packets make the distribution of data to other nodes more efficient and robust.
