TP4, where the 4 stands for class 4, certainly had reordering, retransmission and congestion controll. Other classes you could chose had varying degree of error detection and recovery. It also had a connectionless mode.

Many years ago I did programmeing on a telephony application which communicated using the old SS7 network. In here you, as a layer 4 protocol entity, can send a "link selection" key in the protocol messages. It's just a 4 bit
