I wouldn't call it an isp if they only allowed tcp, udp and icmp.
It should be all ip protocols.

There can be a maximum of 256 of them. The isp shouldn't care what
the ipheader->protocol field is set to.

There is at least one ISP here in the US that filters protocol 50 (IPsec ESP).
Does that mean they're really not an ISP?
