I think it was a proof of principle. Basically, if you can send data packets over any kind of connection, you can tunnel IP over it and then the whole rest of the IP stack comes with it. IP over Avian Carriers was actually done once too. Performance was lacking though
On a related note, I have to wonder if the delay in deploying IPv6 is not due to technical issues but due to it absolutely mandating IPSec support thus giving end-to-end encryption to
everyone as standard.
