By knowing the application's protocol for which you write the rules for :P

For example, if I write some rule that applies to traffic generated by a web server and web browsers, that's TCP. If I write rules that apply to an online game's matchmaking and game discovery browser, that's UDP (but depends on the game). So you have to research a bit to see if the application uses TCP or UDP.
