SUMMARY
=======

Routing and Remote Access provides the KERNROUT command-line utility to manage
and/or view routing in Windows NT. When using this command to display the
Routing Table by specifying the PRINT parameter, such as in KERNROUT PRINT, one
of the columns in the information displayed is Protocol. This information shows
the Protocol used by the computerto learn a route. However, the output shows
just a number instead of the protocol name.

The following table shows the protocol numbers and the protocols these numbers
represent.
