Did you mean that the full ESP payload was encapsulated in UDP or TCP
or only IKE over TCP instead of UDP?

If first, UDP encapsulation is a common method for NAT traversal,
perhaps Cisco extend this for TCP also to make transport more
reliable.

UDP encapsulation is afaik supported by newer FreeS/WAN (correct me
if I'm wrong). TCP encap never heard.

But both encaps are not needed for IPv6 because here is no NAT
defined.
