Comment # 1 on bug 12567 from 
The underlying factor is that UAT entries (SPI and addresses) can contain a
wildcard ('*') as well. Therefore these need to be treated as strings. 

That being said, since the format is well known, code should be added to
process these entries into a common format, to be used when accessing the SA
database. In fact packet-esp.c already contains code to process IPv4 and IPv6
addresses, but this is not used. It should be, and processing code for SPI
should be added. Probably in the form of custom UAT entry callbacks. This also
applies to the esp_sa_record_add_from_dissector() interface.
