                Subject:        A question about IPSec

                I read the following form Cisco documentation about IPSec:

                "IKE uses UDP port 500.  The IPSec ESP and AH protocols use
PROTOCOL
                numbers 50 and 51.  Ensure that your access-list are
configured so that
                50, 51 and UDP port 500 traffic is not blocked ..."

                My question is, what are the PROTOCOL numbers?  This is the
first time I
                read or heard about "PROTOCOL number"?  I know many
protocols by names
                such as TCP, UDP, ICMP etc, by I have never heard about
PROTOCOL
                numbers?  What protocols 50 and 51 are associated with?
Could someone
                please explain that to me?  Thanks.
