**AFF3CT** (A Fast Forward Error Correction Toolbox!) is a library dedicated to
the `Forward Error Correction`_ (FEC or channel coding). It is written in
**C++11** and it supports a large range of codes: from the well-spread
**Turbo codes** to the new **Polar codes** including the
**Low-Density Parity-Check (LDPC) codes**. AFF3CT can be used in two different
ways, as:

   * a **standalone application** for `Monte Carlo`_ `BFER`_ and `EXIT chart`_
     simulations (see the :ref:`simulator` section),
   * a dedicated **toolbox** or **library** for your projects, many modules
     (like codecs, modems, channels, ...) are available and easy to use (see
     the :ref:`library` section).<commit_msg>Doc: Fix a ref link<commit_after>********
