Detailed Description

In the PcapPlusPlus library, specific protocols are identified by a ProtocolType value, which is an 8-bit unsigned integer. Each Layer class has a ProtocolType that can be used to identify the protocol of that layer.

As there are some situations where multiple protocols can be grouped together (e.g. IPv4 and IPv6 into IP), PcapPlusPlus also defines ProtocolTypeFamily, which is a group of multiple protocol types. In functions where a ProtocolTypeFamily parameter is expected, a single ProtocolType value can be passed instead. The library will treat it as a family containing only that single protocol.
