|
ICMP
|
Internet Control Message Protocol. A message control and error-reporting protocol between a host server and a gateway to the Internet.

|
RSVP
|
Resource Reservation Setup Protocol. RSVP is used by a host to request specific qualities of service from the network for particular application data streams or flows. It is also used by routers to deliver quality-of-service (QoS) requests to all nodes along the path(s) of the flows and to establish and maintain state to provide the requested service.

G.xxx specifications which describe the coding of voice and video data, usually refer to codecs, not protocols. Protocol analysis is not dependent on the codec used.
|
H225
|
H.323 control protocol. H.225 call signaling is used to set up connections between H.323 endpoints (terminals and gateways), over which the real-time data can be transported.
|
H245

|
Web+
|
Aggregate that includes all HTTP, secure HTTP, and HTTP proxy traffic.
|
HTTP
|
Hypertext Transfer Protocol. The set of rules for exchanging files (text, graphic images, sound, video, and other multimedia files) on the World Wide Web.
|
HTTP-proxy
|
HTTP Proxy Protocol. Originally designed to allow users behind a firewall to access external Web sites. It is nearly the same as HTTP, except instead of requesting a server-relative URL in the request line, the client asks for a full URL, complete with scheme and host.
|
HTTPS
|
Hypertext Transfer Protocol over Secure Socket Layer, or HTTP over SSL. Web protocol developed by Netscape and built into its browser that encrypts and decrypts user page requests and pages returned by the Web server.
|
X Windows

|
Custom IP protocols
|
Any supported user-defined (non-standard) custom Internet protocol. Establish up to three custom protocols.
You can specify custom IP port ranges. You cannot overlap custom IP port ranges. When you specify a range that overlaps a standard protocol port, traffic on that port is only counted toward the custom protocol.
