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. + .. toctree:: started |
