I'm with Jim on this. I was a contractor in the mid to late '90's
and came across the early TCPIP stack, written in PASCAL and ported
from VM. As I recall it performed OK, and had some quite advanced
features like VIPA which was the subject of another recent
thread. The Cisco man at the scottish bank I worked was quite
impressed.
the base pascal/vs implementation on vm used approx. 3090 processor
getting 44kbytes/sec thruput.
i added rfc 1044 support to the base ... and in some tuning at cray
research was getting sustained 1mbyte/sec between a 4341-clone and a
cray ... using only modest amount of the 4341-clone cpu (around
25 times the data rate for a small fraction of cpu).

we were operating a high-speed backbone ... but were not allowed to
actually bid on nsfnet1 (original internet backbone) ... however, we
did get an technical audit by NSF that said what we had running was at
least five years ahead of all nsfnet1 bid submissions.
i was asked to be the red team for nsfnet2 bid ... there were something
like 20 people from seven labs around the world that were the blue team
(although only the blue team proposal was actually allowed to be
submitted). minor past refs:

ABSTRACT IBM announces Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol
(TCP/IP) for VM (5798-FAL) Release 1 Modification Level 2. Release
1.2 contains functional enhancements and a new optional Network File
System (NFS) (1) feature. VM systems with the NFS feature installed
may act as a file server for AIX (TM) 2.2, UNIX (2) and other systems
with the NFS 3.2 client function installed. Additional functional
enhancements in Release 1.2 include: support for 9370 X.25
Communications Subsystem, X Window System (3) client function, the
ability to use an SNA network to link two TCP/IP networks, and a
remote execution daemon (server).
