One of the authors of Tahoe-LAFS and the original creator of zfec, Zooko, co-authored a paper on the performance of such codes.

Luigi Rizzo is the original author of the fec C library.

I co-maintain zfec (and the Debian package of it) along with Zooko. A new release of zfec is planned to be out soonish.

edit: removing the <> delimiters around the URL. Sorry!

HN sadly does not support <> URL delimiters, so your link ends up 404. Here is it without delimiters:
