I believe a TCP "UT layer" adapter for CFDP has been built and tested at
JPL, but I'm pretty sure it's never been used in any operational sense.
Unacknowledged CFDP over TCP isn't quite as outlandish a stack as it
might seem: TCP assures the in-order data arrival that the CFDP
procedures rely on (which on rare occasions produces some surprising
behavior in acknowledged CFDP over UDP), and the file fragmentation and
reassembly, record boundary detection and preservation, and metadata
features of CFDP are as useful in unacknowledged mode as they are in
acknowledged mode.
