                                 ABSTRACT

Network coding, pioneered by Ahlswede, Cai, Li and Yeung, is by now
established as a tool in the operation of networks. The topic of this
talk is the interaction of network coding principles with noisy
channels. In the case of a multicast connection, this interaction has
been studied by Song, Yeung, Cai and separately by Borade. In this
talk we extend the separation results to arbitrary networks of
point-to-point channels.  Moreover we consider networks that include
some simple multi-point to multi-point channels and provide bounds on
their performance under separation.
