XTP was/is indeed very interesting. It was adopted by US Navy for SAFENET

Not sure if we have him here on this list though.
There were protocols that fit better in the era
like DeltaT with a
simpler state machine and connection handling. Then there was a mad dash
of protocol development in the mid to late ‘80s that were measured by
various metrics to outperform TCP in practical and theoretical space. Some
of these seemed quite nice like XTP and are still in use in niche defense
applications.
