You can take a look at SCPS - http://www.scps.org/ Their protocol is used on lossy links with big latency and packet loss (such as satellites) and overcomes shortcomings of TCP. It works with divert mechanism of FreeBSD and I ported the tap device part as well to both NetBSD / FreeBSD (experimental). Cheers, Marcin.
