[Tejasree] Just realized that all SAs are treated as UDP encapsulated 
if the packet type is other than UDP. Will add per SA support.

Concern with per SA support: we cannot have "udp_encap==1" check in the prepare_one_packet()
function as SA info is not available at that time and plain UDP packets with port 4500 are
treated as IPsec and results could be unpredictable.
