I think the main advantage of IL over TCP is its simplicity.
However, I wouldn't recommend using it beyond fun or historical
interest. Unless of course if you are using the old file server.
I used IL over Internet few years ago and, as far as I recall,
it worked fine. My ISP doesn't do any sort of protocol filtering.
The most common issue you are likely to encounter is when
you have to pass through a NAT. NAT implementations don't
usually understand the IL protocol and thus doesn't know
how to translate the ports and recalculate the checksum.
