Start with some basics:
1) Use latest 2.6 release (2.6.14)
2) Look at DCCP it is sort of like TCP already
3) Develop incrementally:
* build a null protocol with all the infrastructure first
* modify some existing test tool (ttcp, iperf, ...) to support
your new protocol
4) Write some test scripts in parallel with code
