Usage

{{protocol |<protocol> |info= |mod= }}

The page will be added automatically to Category:Protocols.

Parameters:

• (unnamed) (required): the text in the small box, defaults to ??
• |info= (optional) extra text
• |mod= (optional) link to a particular module while displaying the <protocol> given

Enter the protocol name as-is. If the name differs other than casing supply the module name with |mod=

Examples

For HTTP the casing difference between HTTP and http is not a problem:

{{Protocol|HTTP}}

For RTSP, the protocol is handled by the live module:

{{Protocol|RTSP|mod=live}}

To say something for Dummy:

{{Protocol|Dummy|info=Fakes codec input, but is no longer used.}}
