  HTCP provides better security and better cache hit predictions
  versus ICP. However, HTCP messages are larger and more complicated.
  So they impose slightly more network overhead.

  You need ICP or HTCP to use siblings in a fashionable manner.
  I.e. the ability for the cache 'client' to ask the sibling
  whether it has the object or not.
  Probably ICP will has a slighty more chance for 'false hits'.
