What is ipsecTunnelInErrsInvalidFormat?

This OID counts packets received on this tunnel that passed sequence and authentication checks but had an invalid packet format, such as a bad length or next-header value. An engineer investigates a rising count here as a sign of an interoperability problem with the specific peer on this tunnel.
