SCTP gets closer to it with multi-homing.

Still incredibly disappointed this didn't catch on widely before NAT prevented any new protocols. There'd be so many problems we wouldn't have today.
I tend to say the OSI model got it wrong because TCP should live on top of TCP and use its mechanism for ports. That also would have made it easier to launch new protocols with connection and reliability semantics.
