Use the Protocols elements only for custom delivery protocols.

The ClassName value is the fully qualified name of the class within the assembly. If the class is in a namespace, make sure to include the namespace with the class name so that Notification Services can locate the class.

For custom delivery protocols based on the IHttpProtocolProvider interface, specify HttpExtension for the class name.
