Yes, and a pony :)
There are some TCP/IP stacks in user-space usually used to validated the efficiency of other stacks or the (in)efficiency of security tools (e.g. NIDS) trying to do reassembly IP or TCP session. There is muXTCP - an historical one (2005) released in 2010: https://github.com/enki/muXTCP/ (sorry in Python) But this could be a good start to use the TCP part on top of another Internet layer.
