XTP: A better TCP than TCP

Hello all,

I was just reviewing http://www.mentat.com/xtp/xtp.html and
http://www.ca.sandia.gov/xtp/. 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?
