Hybrid Information-Centric Networking
=====================================
+Hybrid Information-Centric Networking (hICN) is a network architecture that makes
+use of IPv6 or IPv4 to realize location-independent communications. It is largely
+inspired by the pioneer work of Van Jacobson on Content-Centric Networking, that was
+a clean-slate architecture whereas hICN is based on the Internet protocol and easy to
+deploy in today networks and applications. hICN brings many-to-many communications,
+multi-homing, multi-path, multi-source, group communications to the Internet protocol
+without replicated unicast. The project implements novel transport protocols, with a socket API,
+for real-time and capacity seeking applications. A scalable stack is available based
+on VPP and a client stack is provided to support any mobile and desktop operating system.
