Wait.  There's some confusion here.  IP is a datagram protocol-- it's 
just a way of defining which bits serve what function.  Any datagram 
protocol can tunnel in any other datagram protocol.

However transmission protocols, like TCP often have time-sensitive 
components which cannot be "tunnelled".  I'd like to see someone try 
TCP/IP over carrier pigeons.
