 ## Introduction
-hicn is an open source implementation of Cisco's hICN. It includes a network
-stack, that implements ICN forwarding path in IPv6, and a transport stack
-that implements two main transport protocols and a socket API.

+hicn plugin is a VPP plugin that implement hicn packet processing as specified in
+https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-muscariello-intarea-hicn/. The transport library is used to
+implement the hicn host stack and makes use of libmemif as high performance connector between
+transport and the network stack. The transport library makes use of VPP binary API to configure the
+local namespace (local face management).
