>From the draft: "The transport end-point offers two kinds of services to applications: a producer and a consumer service. The service is instantiated in the application by opening communication sockets with an API to perform basic transport service operations: allocation, initialization, configuration, data transmission and reception." This seems like a pretty dramatic rethink of the transport layer just for the purposes of mobility management. Will there be a way to use hICN at the network layer with exsiting and unmodified transport protocols (i.e. can this be done without boiling the ocean)?
