Can you say exactly what kind of data currently can not be sent over IP? Remember that IP is not limited to only TCP there is also UDP and others. IP can also handle broadcasts. It is not limited to point to point.
What a change can never do is improve latency and speed. That requires improved hardware. So aside from speed what exactly can't the current IP stack do?
