Shiv, To clarify, the stack has no name per se. We just refer to the transport and session layers part of vnet as “vpp’s host stack”. On top of the the session layer we run VCL, a wrapper library that offers more posix-like APIs for app's consumption as opposed to the raw, vpp specific, APIs the session layer offers. As transport protocols, we now support TCP and UDP and there’s ongoing work from Marco to implement SCTP.
Furthermore, the TCP/UDP implementation from vnet are completely independent from TLDK. The two were developed in parallel but unfortunately I can’t speak to the differences between them since I’m only familiar with the code part of vnet.
