+# libnice
+
+
+## The GLib ICE implementation
+
+Libnice is an implementation of the IETF's Interactive Connectivity Establishment (ICE) standard (RFC 5245) and the Session Traversal Utilities for NAT (STUN) standard (RFC 5389). 
+
+It provides a GLib-based library, libnice and a Glib-free library, libstun as well as [[GStreamer|http://www.gstreamer.net]] 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. It also allows applications to create reliable streams using a TCP over UDP layer. 
+
+Existing standards that use ICE include Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) and XMPP Jingle.  
+
+There is full [[API documentation|http://nice.freedesktop.org/libnice/]] and a page explain how to use it with [[GStreamer|GStreamer]].
