Hybrid Information-Centric Networking (hICN)
========================

## 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.
The transport protocols provide one reliable transport service implementaton
and a real-time transport service for audio/video media.
