Yes, Nithin, we found a way to distinguish the modes by looking into the next header field. And we definitely need RTE_PTYPE_INNER_L4_ESP for ESP over UDP support. Having RTE_PTYPE_INNER_TUNNEL_ESP for this case doesn't make sense, and, I think, it is better to introduce two L4 types for ESP now. What are your thoughts on this?
