Degree distribution lies at the heart of design an LT code. It affects the encoding and decoding complexity and error performance of LT code. In this paper, some metrics of well-design LT code such as average degree, release probability, overhead factor is analyzed. It will compare the metrics among robust LT code, sub optimal LT code and SF-LT code. Moreover, it provides some mathematical guideline on how to design a well designed LT code.
