List of IP protocol numbers
This is a list of the IP protocol numbers found in the field Protocol of the IPv4 header and the field Next Header of the IPv6 header. It is an identifier for the encapsulated protocol and determines the layout of the data that immediately follows the header. Both fields are eight bits wide. Protocol numbers are maintained and published by the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA).[1]
