It's somewhat similar, but the difference is that TCP as it is used today has long-lived connections to which you can attach things like window size.

From the article:

There is no long-lived connection state stored by Homa; once an RPC completes, all of its state is removed

including anything like window size. The next RPC (larger than a "few packets") has to discover that all over again.

Or so I understand.
