Example
This example shows a complete Protocols element that contains the definition of one custom protocol.
<Protocols>
<Protocol>
<ProtocolName>SMS</ProtocolName>
<ClassName>Protocols.SMSProtocol</ClassName>
<AssemblyName>%BaseDirPath%\SMS.dll</AssemblyName>
</Protocol>

This example shows how to define a delivery protocol based on the IHttpProtocolProvider interface. The class is implemented in the Notification Services assembly, so you do not need to provide the assembly information.
<Protocol>
<ProtocolName>HTTP</ProtocolName>
<ClassName>HttpExtension</ClassName>
</Protocol>
