Description: The transport protocol.

Valid values for midcomRuleTransportProtocol other than zero are defined at: http://www.iana.org/assignments/protocol-numbers

This object is used as input to a request for establishing a policy rule as well as for indicating the properties of an established policy rule.

If object midcomRuleOperStatus of the same entry has a value of either newEntry(1) or setting(2), then this object can be written by a manager in order to specify a requested transport protocol. If translation of an IP address only is requested, then this object must have the default value 0. Writing to this object in any state other than newEntry(1) or setting(2) will always fail with an 'inconsistentValue' error.

Note that this error code is SNMP specific. If the MIB module is used with other protocols than SNMP, errors with similar semantics specific to those protocols should be returned.

If object midcomRuleOperStatus of the same entry has the value reserved(7) or enabled(8), then this object indicates which transport protocol is enforced by this policy rule. A value of 0 indicates a rule acting on IP addresses only.

If object midcomRuleOperStatus of the same entry has a value other than newEntry(1), setting(2), reserved(7), or enabled(8), then the value of this object is irrelevant.
