PROTOCOLS(5) BSD File Formats Manual PROTOCOLS(5)NAME
protocols -- protocol name data base
DESCRIPTION
The protocols file contains information regarding the known protocols used in the DARPA Internet. For each protocol a single line should be
present with the following information:
official protocol name
protocol number
aliases
Items are separated by any number of blanks and/or tab characters. A hash (``#'') indicates the beginning of a comment; characters up to the
end of the line are not interpreted by routines which search the file.
Protocol names may contain any printable character other than a field delimiter, newline, or comment character.
FILES
/etc/protocols The protocols file resides in /etc.
SEE ALSO getprotoent(3)HISTORY
The protocols file format appeared in 4.2BSD.
BUGS
A name server should be used instead of a static file.

protocols - protocol name database
SYNOPSIS
/etc/inet/protocols
/etc/protocols
DESCRIPTION
The protocols file is a local source of information regarding the known protocols used in the DARPA Internet. The protocols file can be
used in conjunction with or instead of other protocols sources, including the NIS maps ``protcols.byname'' and "protocols.bynumber" and the
NIS+ table ``protocols''. Programs use the getprotobyname(3SOCKET) routine to access this information.
The protocols file has one line for each protocol. The line has the following format:
official-protocol-name protocol-number aliases
Items are separated by any number of blanks and/or <TAB> characters. A `#' indicates the beginning of a comment; characters up to the end
of the line are not interpreted by routines which search the file. Protocol names may contain any printable character other than a field
delimiter, <NEWLINE>, or comment character.

Hi everyone, I would like to allow multi users to access P2P networks, so I wonder if there's a way to tracking these kind of protocols with netfilter, and also compatibility with nat, like the module conntrack_ftp seems to do with the FTP protocol.
Thanks guys. (0 Replies)
