Today, Cisco CTAO, announces an important milestone to deploy an open-source version of Cisco’s Hybrid Information-Centric Networking (hICN), which is a unique network architecture based on the Internet protocol that rethinks communications around information itself and not on the location of the data.  IP packets are routed in the network based on location-independent names (what you look for) and not on location addresses (where the data you look for is stored).
