Hybrid Information-Centric Networking
Introduction[edit]
Hybrid ICN is a computer network architecture designed at Cisco Systems that brings ICN into IPv6. By doing that, hICN allows to extend IPv6 networking with location-independent name-based networking. This is made both at the network layer and at the transport layer by also providing name-based sockets to applications.
hICN allows to reuse existing IPv6 protocol and architectures, to extend them and deploy hybrid solutions based on the use case and application needs. Moreover, hICN can exploit hardware and software implementations heavily based on IP, making it of much simpler insertion compared to other ICN technologies. hICN design is highly inspired by the CCN architecture, nonetheless it is realised by using the Internet protocol with additional features.
Software[edit]
Hybrid ICN has been open sourced by Cisco in the "Fast Data project" in January 2019 under the Apache 2.0 Software License.
