======Protocol groups======
=====Protocol group management=====
This option is used when you need to create a new group (e.g., from [[dpi:dpi_components:dpiui:user_guide:vas_cloud_services:custom_protocols|custom protocols]]) or modify the composition of protocols within a standard group. The names of standard groups can also be edited.\\ All changes will be reflected throughout the interface, including in QoE reports.

  * 1000 and above — used for custom groups
