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.
