The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Denial of service resilience in ad hoc networks (2004, background): “TCP modifications have been proposed to improve robustness to misordering [3, 4, 33, 35].”
A comprehensive survey on machine learning for networking: evolution, applications and research opportunities (2018, background): “Therefore, the TCP throughput for wireless networks can be improved by accurately identifying the cause of packet loss [34, 62, 490] and reducing the TCP transmission rate only when congestion is detected.”
On dominant characteristics of residential broadband internet traffic (2009, background): “able TCP performance [33, 39], and TCP can confuse reordering for loss [6], causing it to perform congestion control actions that hinder performance.”
Presto: Edge-based Load Balancing for Fast Datacenter Networks (2015, methodology): “Finally, many reordering-robust variants of TCP have been proposed [14, 15, 64], but as we will show, GRO becomes ineffective under reordering.”
