+The GLib ICE implementation
+
+Libnice is an implementation of the IETF's draft Interactice
+Connectivity Establishment standard (ICE). It provides GLib-based library,
+libnice and GStreamer elements.
+
+ICE is useful for applications that want to establish peer-to-peer UDP
+data streams. It automates the process of traversing NATs and provides
+security against some attacks.
+
+Existing standards that use ICE include Session Initiation Protocol
+(SIP) and XMPP Jingle.
