I am just joining this discussion so please excuse my innocence on some issues
that may have be resolved before.  It seems to me that implementing TCP 
functions in a layer 7 application or ROSE or RPC function is a duplication
of effort.  TCP (and TP4) has been in developement for years and should be
fairly stable from one implementation to another.  With this stability
people should be able to replace existing software based TCP (or TP4)
implementations with either better software solutions or hopefully silicon
assisted solutions.

In other words why recreate the wheel?  Reuse what already is in place and 
works.
