Orbital Data (www.orbitaldata.com) has an enhanced TCP stack packaged as a 'router-like' appliance. It uses advanced packet handling to accelerate any TCP/IP application flowing through it to full line speed through high amounts of packet loss and latency.
Orbital's appliance is "transparent" using standard TCP/IP datagrams. It can be placed directly in-line or positioned as a proxy to the application dataflow. Most TCP/IP applications can be accelerated to full line speed, regardless of distance or the amount of packet loss present.
Flow control seems to belong on the network rather than in the stack.
Orbital Data (www.orbitaldata.com) has an advanced implementation of TCP/IP that is packaged as an appliance. Data rates as high as 300mbs over the internet through loss/latency.
Digital Fountain's transport, in discussion here, takes a data set (ie 01010100001010) and creates a continuous flow of unrelated linear equations describing the dataset. Then it packs these random equations in UDP payloads and transmits to the receiver. Each packet is non sequenced and mutually exclusive which makes loss a moot point since the next packet coming down the pipe is just as valuable as the one lost. When the receiver gets enough packets, it uses the equations it has gathered to 'solve' for the original dataset. Also, the overhead is minimal - if it takes 1000 packets to send a file in TCP it takes 1050 with Digital Fountain.
