I think if you are trying to make experimental changes to TCP you
should be at least skilled enough to implement your ideas fully on
your own rather than having to ask for a crash course on how the stack
works.
Frankly, if you aren't skilled enough to figure these things out on
your own I really don't think you should be even suggesting changes
to a complicated protocol that effects the entire world.
