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.
+Hybrid Information-Centric Networking (hICN) is a network architecture that
+makes use of IPv6 or IPv4 to implement location-independent communications. It
+is largely inspired by the pioneer work of Van Jacobson on Content-Centric
+Networking (RFC 8569, RFC 8609) that is a clean-slate architecture. hICN is
+based on the Internet protocol and easyier 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. The current code
+implements also 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 mobile and desktop operating systems.
