Protocol Categories

This page lists the protocol categories used by the Netify Agent. The same category information is also available through the Protocol API.

You can reference the protocol category ID and category tag in flow expressions to classify, manage, and control traffic at the protocol layer. These same category values are also exposed in telemetry records.

For applications, please visit the application categories page.
