Hey there I am writing a paper for slamming ICANN a little more - how many protocols are you folks actually routing today? 10, 20, and what are they? Is there a standard list of protocols that all carriers support?
I'm all for slamming ICANN, so maybe you could elaborate on your approach a little more? I'm not sure where you're going with this...and I don't think you're asking the question you intend to ask. By "protocols" do you mean to include services such as DNS, SMTP, etc? Because, to answer your question directly, the list of protocols that all carries support includes IP, TCP, UDP, and ICMP. Some might do IPv6, but don't count on it. So how do you get to 10 or 20?
