XTP looks like a very interesting protocol. It provides all the features of TCP, plus built-in realiable multicasts, better speed over networks with packet loss, better speed overall, maximum bandwidth limiting built-in, and a few other features which make it noteworthy. It appears that they have defined a few protocols over XTP already, including SMTP and FTP. Is there any projects out there to add XTP to the standard linux kernel?
