This a tough job. You gotta know how every protocol works in detail and figure
out a smart way to make it respond. They are often "UDP-like" but doesn't answer
with ICMP port unreachable.
What could be of interest?
ESP (50)
AH (51)

89 (OSPF), PTP - I don't know how these react, but it might be interesting to
check for. Afterall, thats what a scanner is destined to find out - how
the network reacts to random probing ;-)
