NRL’s open-source IPv6+IPsec for 4.4 BSD UNIX was the basis for many (most ?) 1st generation commercial IPsec implementations and also was used in some early IPv6 implementations.  It was developed/tested both on SPARC and x86.

IPsec would have taken years longer without the NRL open-source implementation, both to standardize and to ship in products.
