Yes, that's clear, I was assuming we are talking about "end boxes" such as a

There is something not correct here ... Proto-41 is supported by

even NAT boxes, I guess by mistake from de vendor/implementation ...

Basically many boxes just understand TCP and UDP and they decide to
"pass-thru" other unknown protocols, instead of discarding them.

Probably doesn't work so well if you have 6k people behind the same
NAT, and they all try and use proto-41, though.
