Protocol Categories
This page provides the protocol categories used by Netify's protocol detection engine. You can reference the category ID in flow expressions to classify, manage, and control traffic at the protocol layer. These same category values are also exposed in telemetry records and available via the Protocol API.
For applications, please visit the application categories page.
From the command line, you can also get a listing of the protocol and application IDs/tags with:
Terminal - Netify
