Er, wasn't that SCTP? If so, that's RFC 3309 and many, many drafts. You might also want to look at DCCP (draft-ietf-dccp-*) and the various documents from the IETF's PILC group. There is also a proposal for a new TCP-style protocol with a real differential controller, the name of which I can't recall right now. See also draft-allman-tcp-sack for another proposal for a fix that won't break old stacks. Also draft-ietf-tsvwg-tcp-eifel-alg, draft-ietf-tsvwg-tcp-eifel-response and many more. I can't claim to be a TCP expert, but TCP_RTO_MIN can certainly have a different value for IPv6, where I believe millisecond reolution timers are required, so 2ms would be correct. Unfortuntately, TCP is incredibly subtle. So, the IETF are really conservative about even suggesting modifications to it, because a common and badly behaved stack can cause major disasters in the 'net.
