I did not have enough experience to work with system level applications.
But in linux/in.h we have
#if __UAPI_DEF_IN_IPPROTO
/* Standard well-defined IP protocols. */
enum {
IPPROTO_IP = 0, /* Dummy protocol for TCP */
#define IPPROTO_IP IPPROTO_IP
IPPROTO_ICMP = 1, /* Internet Control Message Protocol */
#define IPPROTO_ICMP IPPROTO_ICMP
IPPROTO_IGMP = 2, /* Internet Group Management Protocol */
#define IPPROTO_IGMP IPPROTO_IGMP
IPPROTO_IPIP = 4, /* IPIP tunnels (older KA9Q tunnels use
94) */
#define IPPROTO_IPIP IPPROTO_IPIP
IPPROTO_TCP = 6, /* Transmission Control Protocol */
#define IPPROTO_TCP IPPROTO_TCP
IPPROTO_EGP = 8, /* Exterior Gateway Protocol */
#define IPPROTO_EGP IPPROTO_EGP
IPPROTO_PUP = 12, /* PUP protocol */
#define IPPROTO_PUP IPPROTO_PUP
IPPROTO_UDP = 17, /* User Datagram Protocol */
#define IPPROTO_UDP IPPROTO_UDP
IPPROTO_IDP = 22, /* XNS IDP protocol */
#define IPPROTO_IDP IPPROTO_IDP
