For the moment, upper protocols are determined just by looking at the port numbers, so it is likely that the protocols you mentioned would be shown as "Other". I know this is not the best method to determine app protocols, but otherwise it would have been too complex to detect specific layer 7 protocols.

Makes sense. I am not a proper developer so I can not comment how difficult it would be to add that level of dissection in Rust. Here [1] is a page that describes how to utilize libpcap but I have no idea if that would be helpful or how difficult it would be to port this to Rust.
