This document describes a set of heuristics for distinguishing IPsec
ESP-NULL (Encapsulating Security Payload without encryption) packets
from encrypted ESP packets.  These heuristics can be used on
intermediate devices, like traffic analyzers, and deep inspection
engines, to quickly decide whether given packet flow is encrypted or
not, i.e. whether it can be inspected or not.  Use of these
heuristics does not require any changes made on existing RFC4303
compliant IPsec hosts.
