3.3.4. Custom IP Protocol Services

Services that run over IP and perform application/transport layer functions can be uniquely
identified by IP protocol numbers. IP can carry data for a number of different protocols. These
protocols are each identified by a unique IP protocol number specified in a field of the IP header.
For example, ICMP, IGMP and EGP have protocol numbers 1, 2 and 8 respectively.
Similar to the TCP/UDP port ranges described previously, a range of IP protocol numbers can be
used to specify multiple applications for one service. For example, specifying the range 1-4,7 will
match the protocols ICMP, IGMP, GGP, IP-in-IP and CBT.
IP protocol numbers
The currently assigned IP protocol numbers and references are published by the Internet
Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) and can be found at:
http://www.iana.org/assignments/protocol-numbers
Example 3.17. Adding an IP Protocol Service

Protocol (VRRP).
