|  Figure 1.  Example of a ROHCoIPsec-Processed Packet ( +=====+ in
|             the diagram indicates the plaintext that undergoes ESP
|             protection; the packet actually contains the ciphertext)


Notes
-----
Rationale:
 The lower part of Figure 1 misrepresents the packet format;
 in the general case (not ESP NULL encryption), the structure
 of the inner part of the ESP tunnel mode packet is hidden by
 encryption.
 The graphical presentation therefore might mislead the reader.
 The suggested Corrected Text tries to avoid this by graphically
 marking this part of the packet and adding a short note that the
 diagram represents the plaintext structure only.
