New issue 132 by nux...@gmail.com: IPv6 doesn't handle ESP packets sanely
https://code.google.com/p/dpkt/issues/detail?id=132

Under IPv6, ESP packets are "handled" as an Extension Heaeder and dpkt
raises a NotImplemented Exception.


Since the next-hdr field of an ESP header refers to the encrypted payload,
I don't think there is really much that could be done here. Firing an
exception is a bit extreme, I think it is better to just not consider this
an extension and let the parser stop there.


Attached is a diff that removes ESP from the list of extension headers.
