protocols

NAME

protocols - protocol name data base

DESCRIPTION

The protocols file contains information about the known protocols used in the Internet. For each protocol, a single line should be present with the following information:

official_protocol_name   protocol_number   [alias(es)]   [#comment]

Items are separated by any number of blanks, tab characters, or both. A pound sign (#) indicates the beginning of a comment; characters up to the end of the line are not interpreted by routines that search the file.

Instead of the UNIX etc/protocols file, you have the Windows %windir%\system32\drivers\etc\protocol file. The %windir% variable represents your Windows installation directory.
