 {
+	/// @defgroup ProtocolTypes ProtocolType and ProtocolTypeFamily
+	/// In the PcapPlusPlus library, specific protocols are identified by a `ProtocolType` value, which is an 8-bit
+	/// unsigned integer. Each Layer class has a ProtocolType that can be used to identify the protocol of that layer.
+	///
+	/// As there are some situations where multiple protocols can be grouped together (e.g. IPv4 and IPv6 into IP),
+	/// PcapPlusPlus also defines ProtocolTypeFamily, which is a group of multiple protocol types. In functions where a
+	/// ProtocolTypeFamily parameter is expected, a single ProtocolType value can be passed instead. The library will
+	/// treat it as a family containing only that single protocol.
+	///
+	/// @internal
+	///
+	/// A ProtocolTypeFamily pack is represented as a 32-bit unsigned integer. Each octet in the 32-bit value is a
+	/// ProtocolType, allowing for up to 4 protocols to be packed into a single ProtocolTypeFamily value. For example,
+	/// the ProtocolTypeFamily for IP is represented as 0x203, which contains both IPv4 (0x02) and IPv6 (0x03)
+	/// protocols. A single ProtocolType casted to ProtocolTypeFamily will result the value '0x000000xx' where 'xx' is
+	/// the value of the ProtocolType.
