## Feature Internal passthrough Network Load Balancer now supports load-balancing for TCP, UDP, ICMP, ICMPv6, SCTP, ESP, AH, and GRE protocols. To handle multiple protocol traffic, you set the load balancer's forwarding rule protocol to `L3_DEFAULT` and set the backend service protocol to `UNSPECIFIED`. For details, see: [Set up an internal passthrough Network Load Balancer with VM instance group backends for multiple protocols](https://cloud.google.com/load-balancing/docs/internal/setting-up-ilb-multiple-protocols) This feature is available in **General Availability**.
