	Title           : Heuristics for Detecting ESP-NULL packets

This document describes a heuristic approach for distinguishing ESP-
NULL (Encapsulating Security Payload without encryption) packets from
encrypted ESP packets.  The reason for using heuristics instead of
modifying ESP is to provide a solution that can be used now without
updating all end nodes.  With heuristic methods, only the
intermediate devices wanting to find ESP-NULL packets need to be
updated.
