Hello,

     We have also encountered the same problem in our 
captures.
     We are using Ethereal. (version 0.10.7).
     Here's what we see in the ESP Packets:

         16:18:32.983149 3ffe::2 > 3ffe::3: 
ESP(spi=0x554fbe32,seq=0xb5)
         16:18:32.983520 
71d4:c22d:f12e:7785:d8e2:9ea1:2be3:918a > 
5291:cea2:5d13:287d:faeb:27ef:148c:1af8: 
ESP(spi=0xcac1f47e,seq=0x9e)
         16:18:33.284871 3ffe::2 > 3ffe::3: 
ESP(spi=0x554fbe32,seq=0xb6)
         16:18:33.285262 
71d4:c22d:f12e:7785:d8e2:9ea1:2be3:918a > 
5291:cea2:5d13:287d:faeb:27ef:148c:1af8: 
ESP(spi=0xcac1f47e,seq=0x9f)

     We see HIT's in one direction (both src and dst) and 
IP's in the reverse direction (both src and dst also). 
This is a different situation from that presented before.
     Is this the cosmetic problem you talked about in 
earlier mails, or is it something else ?
     We assume that the capture is being done before the 
HIT's are replaced, but where and why does this happen ?


     Thank You,

        Alfredo Matos and Justino Santos
