For reference, here's the valies I've managed to identify...

The 'possible identifier' column is where I have identified the protocol being referred to, but have no info as to the actual protocol identifier to use. Basically, if you have the relevant protocol as a module for your current kernel, look for a module with a name similar to those given, probably to be found in...
/lib/modules/`uname -r`/net/
Best wishes from Riley.
