The bottleneck is gossip, not execution: a post on using RLNC to cut redundant blockchain data propagation.

So is this basically erasure coding for gossip, just with fancier packets? If it actually trims relay fanout, that’s the part worth testing.
Yep, mostly. RLNC is basically erasure coding pushed into the gossip layer, except the packets are random linear combinations instead of plain shards.
If it really cuts relay fanout, that's the whole game, the rest is just bookkeeping.
