There are a couple of recent papers on this subject:

    Ethan Blanton, Mark Allman. On Making TCP More Robust to Packet 
    Reordering. ACM Computer Communication Review, 32(1), January
    2002.

    Ming Zhang, Brad Karp, Sally Floyd, and Larry Peterson. RR-TCP:
    A Reordering-Robust TCP with DSACK, ICSI Technical Report
    TR-02-006, Berkeley, CA, July 2002.
