- I was wondering, has anyone ever seen an implementation where the protocolno.
- for UDP changed without exchanging all the libraries as well?
-
- Or, could anyone imagine a situation where it would be helpful to change the
- protocolno. for UDP?
-
- Or, perhaps more direct, has anyone ever edited the /etc/protocols file and
- changed the number for TCP or UDP?
-
- Just curious about how volatile these numbers actually are.
