you might look at tcpm.

You might find RFC 872 interesting reading:

http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc0872.txt
0872 TCP-on-a-LAN. M.A. Padlipsky. September 1982.

People have been saying that TCP was the wrong answer for something  
or another for a long time. We have had to tweak the algorithms from  
time to time, and people continue to hunt for the best and most  
scalable algorithm. The discussions happen across our high speed (2.5  
and 10 G in many places) backbone, and use SMTP, which runs on TCP,  
and the only real alternative for elastic traffic that has been  
proposed (SCTP) uses the same algorithms.

Draw your own conclusions.
