There is a design and implementation in NFD for the 2.5 layer, but it currently doesn’t have the retransmission part. 
http://redmine.named-data.net/projects/nfd/wiki/NDNLP-TLV. We just started the redesign of this 2.5 layer including limited loss recovery. This may take a while to get fully designed and implemented in NFD.
