IPSec does not use UDP for secure data transer. I think it uses GRE.
However it does use either UDP or TCP (can't remember which one) for
it's control/signalling.
You could try looking at CIPE. It implements a VPN over UDP. Go the
CIPE website to find out more. It uses UDP rather than TCP because you
can get some really ugly things happening if you tunnel TCP within TCP.
Basically timeout/resend issues at both layers.
