I will preface this by acknowledging that I know very little about the details of the protocol and I could be totally off the mark.
I only recently found out about Ousterhout's latest project from this recent talk. Homa protocol is based on the paper referenced below. My first impression is that the 9P (RPC) on top of IL seem very similar to one of Homa's features -- the receiver-driven congestion control. I'm also wondering if a variation of IL could implement these features, or if 9P could benefit from use of Homa. Has anyone done any deep thinking?
