PROTOCOLS(5) Linux Programmer's Manual PROTOCOLS(5)NAME
protocols - the protocols definition file
DESCRIPTION
This file is a plain ASCII file, describing the various DARPA internet protocols that are available from the TCP/IP subsystem. It should be
consulted instead of using the numbers in the ARPA include files, or, even worse, just guessing them. These numbers will occur in the pro-
tocol field of any ip header.
Keep this file untouched since changes would result in incorrect ip packages. Protocol numbers and names are specified by the DDN Network
Information Center.
Each line is of the following format:
protocol number aliases ...
where the fields are delimited by spaces or tabs. Empty lines are ignored. If a line contains a hash mark (#), the hash mark and the part
of the line following it are ignored.
The field descriptions are:
protocol
the native name for the protocol. For example ip, tcp, or udp.
number the official number for this protocol as it will appear within the ip header.
aliases
optional aliases for the protocol.
This file might be distributed over a network using a networkwide naming service like Yellow Pages/NIS or BIND/Hesiod.
FILES
/etc/protocols
The protocols definition file.

The 7046-B50, 7025-F50 and 7043-150 could utilize Yellow Dog linux from their initial release. My question is has anyone been able to extend Yellow Dog, or other linux distributions to work on other PPC RS/6000 platforms?
