On what factors is the communication protocol selected ? be it TCP or UDP
Default is TCP (ie: reliable
).
Unless user specifies the unreliable transport hint.
Are there some other protocols supported as well ?
No, not by default.
There are some alternative transports available, but you'd have to install those yourself (they're old, but see ethzasl_message_transport fi).
