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.
