Yes, Illumos hasn’t changed much there so looking in there basically only gives
hints on the older Solaris implementation. It is difficult to say exactly what happened
in the Solaris implementation since the source is now closed but you could also say
it has been losing relevance. It seems unlikely that Oracle has been keeping up to
date with the standards but still looking at Illumos remains an interesting reference.

By updating the list of RFCs I can see the transport group was created in a
very good moment. Many of the traditional RFCs have received important
revisions and extensions that were suggested previously have been obsoleted
and even deemed insecure. Perhaps RFC 7414 TCP Roadmap, is a good
starting point to plan future work.

Pedro.
