If I was an off-path attacker, and I couldn't drop your packets
(but maybe I can see them), and I am not going to try to decrypt your
packets, I would simply replay/make-up some packets.  If I do this
within the IPsec replay window, the receiving machines have to run the
auth check, and so due to head-of-queue effects, the decrypt time might
not be constant.
